I just traded the RA II hood for a set of Gold GTA Crosslace wheels and was debating if I should keep them gold or paint them red or black.

This is my formula with the stockers, too dark to take pics of the GTA ones,


black ZR1's,


I'll take some pics in the morning showing the GTA's on the car.

 

i dont think i've ever seen red crosslaces before

i say do that.

 

Ive seen it in red before. I didnt care for it. I say just keep em gold. black would look good too though.....or even like a gunmetal grey

 

You'd have to keep painting them so they don't turn pink on you. I'd stick with gunmetal or black.

 

Here are the pics,

 

im partial to gunmetal grey, but on a red car, I would go a silver grey

 

I would paint the hood before the wheels if I were you.

 

The white hood is my trademark.
Besides, I can rattle can the wheels and have them look good, I just can't paint the body, lack of talent.

This is my old set of GTA wheels I painted,

 

Did you paint those? If so, what brand/style of paint and is the color called Gun Metal Grey? I really like that look.

 

b4 i got my 17's i was going to put charcoal gta's on my formula.
cause they would have closely matched the decals.

 

I can't answer for Aviator but, I know that Duplicolor makes actual 'gun metal grey'. That's what I painted my old beater with.

 

I say gunmetal or black... not too big a fan of the gold ones....

oh, zepher, where did u get ur wheels from? just outa curiosity because i'm collecting crosslace wheels for my car...I have two fronts and one aftermarket one... if i can land two more real ones for a good deal i'll just keep the aftermarket one as something to decorate my dorm room or something

 

I got them from my friends 88 GTA. I traded him the RA II hood I had for them. He is using my Formula wheels on his car till he gets some other wheels.

 

I say keep them gold...the gold looks nice with red...if you go black its gonna make it look dirty.

 

Wait, I thought you traded the RA2 hood for the RA1 hood?

On the wheels, I vote black or grey.

 

I couldn't dissagree more. I find gold with red a bad combination. I don't think black rims make it look dirty at all. I would like to see silver the best.

 

What happened to that black set? And how many sets do you have?

Here's a wild idea, but not a cheap one... chrome this set.

Edit: oh, I see, lol. I thought that other set was on the same car, and the car was painted a different color. I see now that it's a different car, and the set of wheels probably went with the car, right, lol?

 

I think red wheels would be too much, here's a pic of the cover car on a book i have High Performance Firebirds.

 

I trade so much stuff, it probably confuses everyone.
I had a Grey RA II hood that I traded for the white RA 1 hood.
I recently traded my 84 T/A hood for a Black RA II hood.
The Black RA II hood is what I traded for the Gold GTA Wheels.

this is the black hood I just got and traded.
The Black GTA Wheels I had on my 86 Trans Am were sold to a guy with a GN in DC when I bought the 17" WS6 wheels. I still have that car, it's been my project for 3 years.

 

If you keep them.....paint them black.....they don't get much better than that...:lala: :hail:

 

ok im sorry to steal the thread for a second...but where did u get those black zr1 rims from!!! i recently painted my 89 bird millenium yellow (c5 vette color) and i still have stock 15's on the car. (i believe people call them salad shooters?) and i was lookng into black rims. did you buy them that way or have them painted? and ater they 16 or 17 inchers? thanx!

 

waaaay too much
IMO paint them black

 

They came that way from AFS. They were $400 shipped for 4 17x9.5 from an AFS Ebay auction. They are my brothers wheels, I just borrowed them to take some pictures of my car with them on it.

 

I like gold.

 

 

I was gonna say paint them black but then I saw this.

 

I say paint them a gunmetal grey or black!

 

Nice! I did a set up just like that about a month before I got my ZR1's, now they are slated to go on my malibu. Those wheels look great on anything!

 

i say go black

 

Since your body decals are white, I would go with the Gunmetal grey. It they were black, the black would compliment. The gold goes with nothing, looks like they were bolted on from another car.

Gunmetal looks like the best option. Besides, it will be destinctive. I agree that the red is just too much red.

What if I had Gold Decals made? would that look ok?

I just got another set of wheels and they will go on the Formula as soon as I get some spacers made.
They are 17" Cobra R wheels.
I may have these GTA wheels up for sale soon to pay for the spacers.
