Re: TA progress pics!

That thing would look BA, if it weren't for those wheels. Car looks good though.

Everyone I meet likes those wheels...I kinda like them my self but I would like to find some 17" or 18" wheels like these...I think they would look good on my car? Or I might go with the black crosslace GTA wheels? What do you guys think?

Re: TA progress pics!

i personally prefer a nice clean 5 spoke rim but i think GTA crosslace rims would look awesome on yours.

Re: TA progress pics!

Those wheels are different - infact they look very similar to the optional wheels available on the Choo Choo Customs conversion Camaros. Pretty cool!

Re: TA progress pics!

Wheels aren't my cup of tea, either. Look like they belong on a pickup instead of a thirdgen. But I LOVE that black T/A. Good job!
