Do these wheels look ugly or what?
I recently sold my GTA wheels so that I can get some ZR1's and I put these stock Firebird wheels on my car in the meantime.
I think it looks funky, but some people like them.
With the GTA's

And with the Firebird wheels. What do you all think?



And here is the car with my brothers ZR!'s,

i love the look with the GTAs.
ick and ick on the other two.
the ZR1s wouldnt be bad at all if they were silver, but the black with black tire, on red car, it looks cruddy IMO.

The ZR1's I am getting are painted silver, stock 99 SS wheels.
I would have kept the GTA's, but I put a 98 Rear on the car and I didn't like the rear stance, stuck out a bit too much for my taste.

Silver ZR1's would look great, the GTA's looked great too but with the wider rear I understand getting rid of them.
The twisties look okay, they are great as you can get them for pretty much nothing.

I hate black rims, therefore I hate GTA's and I would hate the ZR1's if you weren't getting them in silver... the wheels on there now are OK but nothing I would set out to buy for that car...

3 of them are off of this 99 Hugger Orange SS (camera makes it look like Pepto Bismol Pink), car was totalled in a head on collision last year and 3 of the 4 wheels survived.

Lol, I think you need to stop playing with your car parts and get that Trans Am running on the street, ahahahah. Yes I do not like those rims. I swear the factory intentionally makes a simple 5 spoke design ugly just so you will go out and get something else.
GS in black and black GTA rims looked way cooler.

I think the GS wheels (black ZR1s) look outstanding on the red formula. By far the best of any you've shown.

It's supposed to say www.eastcoaststreetracing.com, but that was too long.I'll be installing the T56 into the T/A this weekend and getting an otpi from my brother soon since I loaned him the 2 I had and now I have none.
After those 2 parts are on, I'll slap the wiring together and fire up the motor and see how it runs.

I've got a Spec Flywheel that I am getting next week, got the new clutch kit yesterday, should get a new opti the week after next, wheels and tires will be in 4 weeks
It's just the small parts that nickle and dime you to death. I am not sure how much I have invested, probably $7-10K in the past 2 years.
I've also lost a lot of motivation, maybe after the tranny and driveline parts are installed I'll have more motivation to finish up the project.
