Thanks give me an idea. Like i said body colour might change. I really have to sit down with a adult beverage or 5 and stare at the car for a bit to envision what direction I'm going with it.

IMHO you can.. I owned this in 1986 and had the red stripe removed and loved the wheels with the white letter GTs. I had the look of the GTA before the GTA and it turned heads everywhere. when I saw the crosslaces I just thought wow they but some BMW style BBS wheels on it and gave it more power. Big whoop. I have owned this and the GTA. I prefer the TA. It just looked better.

Re: All Members One Pic ONLY!

I have to disagree. Your GTA was about the most beautiful Thirdgen on the planet. I hated those other wheels

I wanted to put the silver ones you see below with white letter tires but I had a gold interior so it would not have looked OK. I powder coated some formula rims I got from ebay and it didn't have the look I was going for. I was trying to recreate my old car. I will one day and will be happier than having the bbs crap.
Never thought they should copy BMW.
I will buy a basic black TA within the next 10 years

Re: All Members One Pic ONLY!

it wasn't a BMW. never liked the crosslaces. the trans am needed to look more aggressive. the cross laces never looked aggressive. the only way you could make crosslaces look reasonable was to use all front rims on the front and rear since they had a deeper lip

Re: All Members One Pic ONLY!

All a matter of opinion on the wheels...
I hate those wheels on the red Camaro above. I like the cross lace wheels on the TA’s. And I think the first style formula wheels are absolutely terrible. I like the second version of the Formula wheels so much more.

Re: All Members One Pic ONLY!

The ONLY good looking stock rim on a Third gen bird is a crosslace IMO .I could see leaving a stock rim on an original show car type i guess such as a Formy. Crosslaces look good on certain color Camaros as well as on Regals,Monte Carlos, and S10s. I love some Vette wheels on these cars too.

Re: All Members One Pic ONLY!

i kind of like the first style formi wheels a bit better,they are not so cheap looking.
the second revision with the fake rivets are mehhhh(to me anyway)its all personal opinion.
the bbs lms on big red look SICK and are functionally perfect,light,durable,
rebuild-able,beautiful.one of my personal favorite rims on anything,mini-lights
are another,they are timeless and scream bad *** and race inspired.

it might be a road race inspired love,anything scca/trans am series looks good to me.

minilights are great on everything
