I dont know about everyone else but i hate the way the gold wheels look on my car. My TA is black and i cringe every time i get a good look at those wheels on my car. What do you guys think about them? Also, was gold the standard color?

I especially hate gold wheels on blue cars. One of the worst combos GM ever offered. Wait a sec... that is what is on Blue right now. Real ugly too (just so you know I swapped my chrome IROCs onto my orange '88 Roc temporarily, and put the gold 15s on Blue).

Well, even though I fail to see how this is considered tech, I'll still answer.
The look good on white and black GTAs. Other than that, I don't really care for them. You'd also probably get a better response on the Appearance board.

The black and gold was the reason I bought my car so I think you can guess my answer.
I think most camaros with gold accent wheels look great but some of the colors on GTA's just dont go. Maybe there is just to much gold in those mesh wheels or its too dark.
Shame on you guys for dissing the bandit colors that made the Trans AM an icon.

I guess you can say I like the gold rims enough to have invested in a set. I originally planned to peint the centers black or charcoal, but kept them gold. I like it.

Lon I like em. I got gold rims on my black IROC, cuz I got the gold package. Looks pretty good to me. And its different so it stands out, thats a plus. Although I'm not a fan of tan interior, but whatever.

I'll even give you maroon, white, and black too in a few cases too.
I like the gold rims, My 95' Bonneville SSEI was a metallic gold with the the GTA style rims and they looked good to me. My 89 Camaro has the Gold five star Iroc rims. The rims came off a black car (oooh black and gold) My Camaro is white, we shall see if the rims look good when I get the car back with new paint from the body shop.
Thanks, Apone! Those are actually very flattering pics. It's somewhat of a project.. 105K on the clock, minor body damage on driver's side bumper and passenger side quarter (very minor), and the paint on the hood is bad. I'm still happy with it, tho... not too much work needed. No burning anything (except rubber-
), no leaks, factory compression.

If you don't like your Gold GTA rims, I have a set of '86 Vette rims to trade ya. I want the GTA rims, but not w/ the GTA center caps. Can I put the regular Firebird center caps on there instead??

i've got gold rims
just bought the car to days ago, black with gold rims and pin stripes, at first i thought i would go straight black and get some silver rims but it is begining to grow on me, maybe in a few years when i get a new paint job I'll go with something else, but for now gold will do.
