theres been a lot of threads asking about gta rims and replicas etc. there are similar 3 piece rims out there but they all have the rivets in them.

These are black CCW Classics photoshopped onto redraif's car. < image stolen from www.3rdgen.org > They're not really mesh wheels, but they're close.

yeah, those wheels are still available, however they'll set you back an arm and a leg. the company is "ccw" which stands for "complete custom wheel" (I dont remember their website, however i'm sure u'll find it if you search in google or something).. iirc, those suckers should set you back somewhere in the 2K-3K range for a set of 17s all around..

Does anyone use the search function anymore?

I've pasted two links below that you may like to take a look at. If anyone wants GTA wheels to be made in a larger size then they should read these two threads and take the course of action required.

My new 17x9.5 GTA's have arrived!

There's also this option:

http://www.usacomp.com/cxn.htm

Last I checked it was about $1700 for 4 17x9's with powdercoated centers.. Of course they're 3-piece, so you can go any size and backspace you want.

They're the closest looking GTA's that are still being produced that I've found.
