Those are GTA wheels

Formula wheels look a whole lot like the ones you have, just a little bigger.

*Note* A very small number of 91-92 L98 formulas with T-tops got black crosslace wheels as a complete option.

I had no idea they ever sold formulas with GTA wheels, any idea on the numbers sold?

Davieboy, I don't mean to critisize, but the wheels look an inch too big.

The formulas with GTA wheels are extremely rare. They only did it as an option for the 91-92 Formulas coming with the L98 and T-tops. A lot of people will argue that they did not make T-top 350 91/92 formulas, but in fact they did. On 3rdgen.org we have two as examples, they are both 91 formulas, L98, T-tops, and black crosslace wheels. There is a RPO code for it but I dont remember what it was.

But do the breakdown

1050ish 92 formulas, rough estimate

3-400 coming with the L98

And a minor number of them with the Ttops, I would guess around 50 to 100 of them total for that year. Possibly more for 91, but probably not many.

(These are all guesses, I have no idea how accurate they are excepted based on the original production figure of 92)

My friend had a burnt red metallic 1991 Formula 350, t-top,crosslace wheels.

Too bad it slammed sideways into two trees in the rain and was totalled out.

I've got one of the 2
but I'm in the process of changing wheels. I've got a set of black Crosslace wheels 17X9.5's aftermarket that are going on as soon as my tax $$ comes in for tires.

looks good but Im not sure how well the dull grey ground effects are going to match the shiney aliuminum rim..

I have the same prob with my 84.. black and gold and I want to put gold gta rims on but the shiny gta rim would be way out of place..

Stick with the rims you have now. A little work with aircraft stripper and they will rock.

>dont play with that stuff if you dont know what it is....
