Those are WS6 polished aluminum wheels on a V6 model or a Formula.

87transam5.7tpi has those exact rims on his 87 GTA.

The majority of the newer WS6 cars have those rims on them. I personally like the narrower WS6 spoke's better....

Those fatter ones are the 01/02 WS6 rims. But the red car at the top shouldnt have them cause its not a WS6. Try www.aaarims.com for decent prices on 'factory' wheels.

Those were/are a special order WS6 rim. All WS6's came with the narrower ones and those were an upgrade or choice (dunno if they cost more) I do know though that they are alot more uncommon to find than WS6 or Firehawks even.

Yeah, he bought those rims off of ebay w/Eagle F1's for pretty cheap IIRC. They will look awesome on that TA when he is done.

No, They are the STANDARD wheel on Mid year 2001 WS6's, and ALL 2002 WS6's. The thinner spoke wheel was standard up until early/mid 2001. The only other wheel to come on LS1 WS6's is the swirl wheel.
