Pics of my new wheels.....

.... Ok, not really, I was bored in Photoshop. Here they are, 1999 30th Anniversary Trans Am wheels, 17x9.5" When I get them, Ill be going with a 4th gen rear end, and all that. I already know its gonna be *fairly spendy* to get em, and on. But, I like it, so dont try to convince me otherwise!

Its been really hard for me to find the right pic for the original pic, i.e. right angle with right lighting.. keep that in mind before attacking me, and calling me rice.

you know... I like it. But I bet the car that was white with those wheels would look even better. Sorry... blue on blue. It's almost too much blue. But pic 3 looks really good.

I agree with everyone else. I think the pics of the wheels don't look right due to the color, but I know someone who has a 30th anniversary and they kinda change colors of blue depending on the lighting. My choice would be chrome. Here's a quick pic I did.

Cool. I've been wondering about getting red ones like that. Anodized or something. For my red car of course.

Those wheels look good on there, bu I like the plain chrome WS6 wheels. they are the same as the 30th anny wheels only they are not blue. BTW, 30th anniversary is 1997, not 1999 (1967 was the 1st year).

I think it looks ok but I would much rather go with the rims that jobryan26 put on his pic.I think chrome just looks better with your paint than the blue rims.

Rims look great. But, where original rims look good with the silver body trim, chrome or alloy finished wheels kind of clash. Makes it look like a Buick. Change the lower body trim (ground effects?) to the body color and you'll really have something. Nice car. Looks good in Maui Blue.

Are those 20 inch wheels or what, they look huge. Just kidding, but you may want to shrink them a bit to get a more real look--1/2 inch bigger all the way around the wheel. I'm partial to any wheel that isn't body color. Silver or chrome would look nice.

Custom 3 inch single into 2 2.5 pipes. 1 1/2 drop springs, 1 5/16 solid front sway bar, 1 inch rear bar, custom subframe connectors, custom LCA relocation brackets. Kobel ground FX, current red metallic paint. Lots of other stuff...
