heres another of the motor, with all the updated things I did this summer.

 

NICE!!Wish my GTA looked half that good.

 

Very Nice! Less is always better in my book! Rims and a good paint job is all you need.

 

what size or the rims, exact dimensions would be great, Im thinking about getting those for my GTA, well either those or Hoopsters but I need to know sizes to look for and tires as well. I do love your car and it looks almost exactly like my GTA.

 

Thx for the nice comments everyone, although its only a Trans Am, not a GTA.
I bought the American Racing Torque Thrust II's, they are 17" x 8" all the way around. I was going to get wider tires for the rear.....but as all us Trans Am owners know....the front and rear rims have a different offset. So I took a gamble and got the same size all the way around. And they look awsome! I really liked the stock showlace style rims (16"), and didnt think anything would look better on my car. But, as you can see....I think I made a great choice. 18" rims would NOT look good at all. 17" is the perfect size.

 

I think 18's look pretty good on t/a's, here is mine

 

yours dont rub? Mine rub a little bit when I turn my tires. I just wanted a car with rims, not rims with a car if you know what I mean. I see too many cars that look like there riding around on just rims....HUGE rims at that. And little bitty tires. Thats not that look I wanted for my 3rd gen.
I like to have some tire under my car. If I went with 18's....the low profile tires were a little too low profile to me.
Yours look good, and you still seem to have space between your tires and your fender wells. I was thinking of getting lowering springs, to lower my car 1" - 1.5"
But that will be after I repaint it hopefully this winter. And do some other things if I can afford it.

 

Nope no rubbing, the tires are the same size round as they would be stock.

I also haven't lowered mine but I have a crossmember that is already hitting speedbumps and stuff but if I were to I would go the same that your thinking 1-1.5", I think a pro-kit would do that nicely.

 

Yeah, not too low, but low enough to get rid of the gap a little. I have watch that too. I live in Michigan, and the roads most of the time suck! I need to get sub-frame connectors 1st thing though.

 

very sharp looking car. nice work tenpin.


yeah i was gonna get sfc's but i went to the gun show and blew that money

although i guess its not a total loss because i did pick up a tec-9 w/ 50rd mag for $160!!!!

also got some 9mm black talons, those things are NASTY!!! turned my phone book into confetti!!!

 

haha!! Thats awsome. Well you have to have a couple hobbies!!

 

nah i just like protecting my most important hobby!

after all i do kinda live in the ghetto. my tec-9 doesnt ride with me very often but my Astra 9mm compact fits perfectly in my center console right next to my cd's.....

now if only i could conceal my AK somewhere in there....

 

lol yeah i wanted to get a CCW permit. I just thought it would be nice to have.

 

yeah i dont know how it is up there but in GA your car is part of your property and you can have a gun in it without a CCP. my 9 rides with me everywhere.

whats the law in mich? im curious because i have a lake house in union that i go to every summer and i carry up there too...

 

I really havent looked into the laws yet. I hope by the 1st of the year, I can find the classes to take. Then I hope to be all set.

 

You want to repaint it? Gosh it looks great to me now..... I wish that my paint looked so good.

 

Thx mnorton! long time no talk, Yup here she is. All is original paint except the drivers side door was repainted, not sure why. But the ID tag was taped off in the door jam. So I knew it was repainted.
I'm pretty good with a wheel, I polished it up pretty good before I took these pics. I made ride of the month for November in our car club here in Michigan. The front has some stone chips in it and there's a couple real small dings I need to fix. Also the top of the car has faded in a couple spots.
I really cant wait to repaint this car! Then it will be ready for all the cars shows to come.
