02 Speedlines on my GTA!

I finally got the 02 WS6 speedlines on my GTA. What do you guys think?

Nitto NT 555 - 275/40/17 all around
2" Ebay spacers all around - needed grinding to fit over hub.

Re: 02 Speedlines on my GTA!

Yuck....(you asked!)

I don't like ANY of the 4th gen/Vette wheels "FWD looking" offsets on ANY car. Not even on the 4th gens or Vettes.

Our RWD cars should have heels with an outer lip. That is why I love my 17" x 9" ROH Snypers, 275s front, 285s rear.....Direct bolt-ons, no adapters needed.

Re: 02 Speedlines on my GTA!

I like it, but then again, I like the GTA wheels. Everyone has their own opinion. For instance, I don't like the 4th gen wings on our cars, nor do I like the 4th gen side mirrors...

Re: 02 Speedlines on my GTA!

i dont have anything bad to say about them...unfortunately at the same time, i have nothing good either lol...for my taste, just a little too shiny lol, i like our gta wheels, but with black centers and the outside chrome, thats how i like most wheels. if i were to look at the picture for 15 minutes though, they'd most likely grow on me.

i do like how wide they are though, the picture from the rear of the car looks sick!

and i agree with the 4th gen mirrors, and 4th gen dash, door panels, and center console.....i did the wing and the seats but thats about as 4th gen as i'll get on my 3rd lol

Re: 02 Speedlines on my GTA!

I have 4th gen seats, anything else other than the mechanical parts (engine, rear, tranny...) I don't really like.

Re: 02 Speedlines on my GTA!

i would like a 6 spd trans, but for me, a TPI is a motor that is like no other, especially how it looks lol...the LS# motors could whoop a tpi's butt, but i still like them lol...and i like some 4th gen mods, but interior wise, the seats are enough for me...i just think that some 4th gen stuff is too rounded looking, and our cars are quite boxy. this is just a matter of opinion though. hoping i dont get any other hate mail cuz of myopinions though
