Do a search for Epsilon wheels. They look very close to GTAs except they aren't as deep dished. But they are diamond spoke and come in taller and wider than stock 16x8.
There is a guy with a Jade green 91-92 Convertible T/A with gold Epsilon wheels and it looks really sharp.

thanks for the input on the wheel. I searched, and they are only in 17's. I appreciate it none the less though, truly.
I did find the HP EVO's for a good price, but....I dunno...maybe I'm being TOO picky.....

BBK used to make GTA-ish wheels. IIRC shroom (?.. I don't remember now...geh) has a set on his lsx powered vert.
To add to the memory gme.. I think he won them off ebay and they were for a 'vette.

I personally like what you have better than the BBS but, I'm not a hardcore 'keep it stock looking' person anyways.
Even though I'm probably not right on the member, I was just trying to recall for the previous posts wondering about the wheel.
Even is the photo is enhanced (or.. so it appears to me.. might not be)... that is an extremely sharp/cleen/straight ride... very noice

Those are Fiske M10 wheels.
Fitment specs
Recommended Tire Size(s):
17" 245/45-17
18" 245/40-18
17x7.5 each ($749.00)
17x8 / 8.5 each ($769.00)
17x9 / 9.5 each ($789.00)
17x10 / 10.5 / 11 each ($799.00)
18x7.5 each ($929.00)
18x8 / 8.5 each ($959.00)
18x9 / 9.5 each ($999.00)
18x10 / 10.5 / 11 each ($1,199.00)\
Whether or not it is a Photochop, dunno. The edges do look odd, but the shading around the rims on the tires themselves looks correct. Odd edges possibly due to the shine reflecting off the rims?
But they are available for a 3rd gen...If you have money to throw around...

Those Fikse wheels are nice but very pricey. $3k+ for Fikse sounds about right. That's a great photo. Who's car is it?
Have you considerd Boyd Coddington wheels, specifically the Tuned style? Crazy Hawaiian has them on one of his cars, Finally ... Pics of CrazyHawaiians 91 z28 on 18's. They resemble the GTA wheels. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if they still make that style though. Their F-01 (which I suspect is the Tuned style now) or F-04 style in the 2-piece forged series is also similar, but more expensive.
BTW, what's your price range?

sorry guys - yes - I photochopped the wheels onto my car - I don't have the duckets to drop on those specific wheels, but I like the idea of "similar" to stock style in an 18" wheel. those boyd wheels look VERY nice! I'm gonna have to look into them for sure!
the HP EVO's are $750 shipped to my door. great price....the only thing I don't know if I care for are the rivits on them....still un-decided. I haven't set an exact price, but I really don't WANT to spend more than 1200....it just eats at me to know I drop that much for some wheels! guess I'm cheap....
MANY thanks for all the ideas fellas, your giving me a lot more to choose from!

Myself...I don't care for the black rivets either. If they could redone in gold to match the crosslaces, they wouldn't be so bad.
It turns out there is a shop here in town that claims to be able to widen wheels. I'm considering having my stock crosslace wheels widened a couple of inches. Maybe to a 16" x 10"? At least the rear 2.

The CCW classic wheel is very similar to the stock GTA wheel. It's a little pricey but I think it'd look good. Here'w the website: Complete Custom Wheel

I dunno...I don't see any crossing of the laces in the CCW design. They look more like the HP EVO wheels.
The Epsilon are the closest ones. I just don't like the black rivets on them.

Try the Tirerack.com website. You can change the body colr, swap the wheels in Photoshop, if Tirerack doesn't have them, lower the car in Photoshop, etc.
Here's mine.

Find me a set of gold centered, 87 correct crosslace wheels, and I'll gladly sell the gold centered 88 up ones I have right now.
I keep finding black centered ones, but I wanna stay with the gold centers.

I've always wanted a set of those Epsilons!!!!! Custom 17x11's on the back would be sweet!! Can you still buy them new or are those the rare C4 option?

Those cross lace rims are bad ***...especially in the gold color.
Wondering if anyone can photochop this wheel on my car?
I am looking for a new set of light wheels. I think the gold and black would make a nice combo!

Thanks,
Tommy

Another plus for the 3-piece design is if I ever did want a deep-dish look I can have new rings made. Technically if you wanted 18" rims, new rings would work as well.

Well since they are true 3-piece rims, all I would have to do is un-bolt them and repaint. Though at $90 a pint for the right gold color I think I'll stick with black for a while.
