put the 18's on he formula

Well, I swapped out the wheels today. I think they look awesome but I can't decide wether they looked better on the t/a or the formula. I am going to order another set of sportlines for it too. What do you guys think?

The gfx do make them look better. I'm selling the t/a so that's why I swapped them. I love these wheels and nobody else has them so that's why I want to keep'em.

Still can't believe you got that formy for only $1000...the rims look better on the T/A better though. Formula needs to be lowered a bit and those rims will look better on it.

I like them on both but I'm a Formula owner/lover so I'm going with the Formy. Get those Sportlines on it.

I don't like them at all to be honest, but then again, I don't like rims much bigger than 16", lol. Looked better on the Trans Am though.

I think they look good on both cars... chrome seems to compliment black better, but they're dead hot on the red formula.. they'll be freakin' sexy once the formula is dropped with sportlines or similar.

They're aluminum, just polished up, and the t/a is blue. I can't wait to get the sportlines. As soon as the t/a sells I'm buying the sportlines, the rest of my z06 brake set, the stealthram and 2 new tires. I can't wait!

Howdy, where did you find those rims? Also what size tires did you mount on them? Seems hard to find 17" and 18" rims for these 3rg Generation cars.
Thanks,
Steve

I think they'd look really good on the Formula with a 4th gen spoiler.

I also think they'd look even BETTER on the T/A if the T/A was a metallic black.

Either way, those are pimp rims, and they'd look good on just about anything.
