Adding 77 snowflakes and got rid of the stockers.

 

They look pretty good. I would like to see one with a set of the 17" ones from year one on it. I like to the hood also

 

Dude those are totally badass!
Makes me want to get a black and gold 82 and stick em on there.

 

Love em.

I always wanted to do this. Hit the tires with some tire shine, maybe repaint the wheels.

Either way, they're badass.

 

thanks gentleman...the rims do need re-doing but i got alot to handle before I get to them..my firewall leak for one.

 

need to be wider

 

Not bad , you should get the ones with the deeper offset so you have that aluminium lip.

 

That makes it look older, I like that I think WS6 Snowflakes (8") would look better though, or maybe 79-81 Turbo rims.

 

i am not a big fan of the turbos

 

the year one snowflakes would be completely bad *** on that car

 

i was looking at the cheap version on their site for $179 each...not bad I may do that sometime in the near future.

 

i wish i had a ta i would do it

 

I don't want to come off like I'm hijacking the thread, but since a couple people mentioned the Year One 17x9 snowflake rims you can see how they look on my bird- https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/memb...rans-am-2.html

 

and on mine

 

Twin Turbo..yours looks amazing..are those the year one versions??
and to the OP...looks great..the hood really goes with the rims

 

yes

 

yeah you and your photoshop drop! haha, the rims look great but I'd seriously be worried about clearance with it lowered that far and not atleast having the rear fender lip rolled.

 

shhhh don't tell

 

lol :P nice photoshopping??

 

ok, original pic

 

I was just giving you a hard time... okay and I also think if something has been photoshopped it should be stated... either way, your car looks great just the way it sits now!

 

I didn't know if those wheels would look good on a 3rdgen - but that's just about the nicest looking early bird I've ever seen. Well done!

Do the wheels require spacers or are they bolt on? I'm wondering how they'd look on my GTA now

 

They are bolt-on, but you have to use the washer style lug nuts that were used on 2nd gens. The fronts sit perfect and the rear wheels stick out a bit more than the crosslace rims. Here's a front and rear view to get an idea of how the offset looks:







Year One makes 15x8 replicas as well.

 

HOLY ****IN ****!!!!
Jeremynyr Your car is ****ing SWEET!!!!!!!

 

thanks man I've put a lot of work and money into it and it's cool to see that other people like it too

 

i had to get the same kind of lugs...mine are toyota actually

 

Yeah, I had no idea the 2nd gens used different style lug nuts than our cars. Good thing I found out before I ruined the rims! I just bought mine individually at the parts store.
