I have a black 89 GTA. It has the same rims as the gold ones but mine are black. I have not seen any other TAs or GTAs with a black paint job and black rims. I dont even know if I have seen the black rims. Were these an option or standard?

Thanks,

Brian

 

Generally GTA's had the gold rims and the T/A's had the black one's.....

 

So if the GTAs generally came with gold rims is it an option for them to have the black rims or just luck of the draw?

 

All GTA's had gold rims, no option. T/A's on the other hand has gold as an option over black in 1992....

 

Over the years the Trans Am could be had with the diamond spoke wheels in red, white, black, charcoal, and gold. The GTA was only available with the gold wheels.

 

So if I have a 89 GTA with black rims, someone got some black rims off of a TA and put them on?

 

Or someone painted the stock rims, or its not a GTA but a trans am with some badges from the GM dealer. Run your rpo's on the main page, and go to www.gtasourcepage.com and read up on what makes a GTA a GTA.

 

Either that or they bought new ones from somewhere, or they took a can of paint to your stock wheels.

 

Does it have the T/A fender heat extractors? If so its probably a T/A in GTA guise.

If no fender extractors then it might be as stated before.

It is a GTA I looked at the rims and there is a spot where I can see that the black was painted over the gold. I dont know why they didnt make them with the black rims. I think that they look freakin sweet with black rims.
