Wheels! Trans Am Pics!

I am looking for people who have pics of Trans Ams (3rd gen) with 4th gen wheels. Photoshop is not very good in giving all the different wheels a good look.

Here are the different wheels I am looking for:

4th gen Ws6, chrome, polished, 2002 Black collector edition

Black Zr1's

4th gen Firehawks wheels

Or any other wheels!!

If the car is red, big plus!

I like how they look... although others have suggested others choices, there will always be someone who wont like them.

17x9.5 ws6 wheels. polished aluminum. 4th gen rear...1.7" spacers in the front.









I miss my GTA gold WS6 wheels. But, since I had the 4th gen rear, and 4th gen front brakes, I couldnt really use them. I got these super cheap with great tires. They are growin on me...

Haha...Ill keep you in mind if I decided to ditch them. But like I said they are growing on me. As for price... Lets just say that I paid under $600 for all 4 with almost brand new BFG KDWS tires

Thanks for the compliment wgripp...I agree with you about the 4th gen wheels. And I wouldnt even have them if I didnt need to change wheel size for the rear axle and front brakes. I wanted TTiis....but it seems like everyone has those too. Choosing wheels is so hard. haha.

Re: Wheels! Trans Am Pics!

How did you black out your rear side markers? How much light gets through?
