car looks clean I do like the black with the chrome wheels but...

They are Cragar SS right? Real 70's---(not in a good way either) and they are 15" which kills your looks/handling. That car came with 16" rims

Get some 17 " TT2s and it would be awesome

Nice but I would suggest a 5% tint job and she would be The rims aren't that bad but they would look nicer with darker windows

Re: Some pics of my NEW third gen..

From what I can tell, they look to be 16"s not 15"s. Hard to tell. Either way not a huge fan of the wheels.

.....But AWESOME looking car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, don't take it to heart. Trust me when I say everyone likes your car.

Beautiful car man! And personally I love the rims. I also agree with getting a 5% tint. It would look better with it.

It's just kids that don't recognize classic good looks. My favorite old-school wheels are good old alluminum slots. Not stupid looking chrome steel slots, pollished alluminum slots.

Re: Some pics of my NEW third gen..

Very clean ride! I don't want to like the Cragars, but I do; looks good to me. The front brakes look big, are they stock? Or is it just because they are inside 15" rims?

These are the crosslace wheels. Stock on GTA, available on other 'birds.

Came in gold, black & silver/gray, all with the lip polished, only the laces painted.

The fronts are highly sought.

The offsets are different front to rear. The rears have about 1/2" less backspacing, so they sit in farther.

Fronts fit the rears, but rears won't fit the front, because of the backspacing difference, unless you run spacers on the front.

I've got 4 rears (those are 2 of them) because I'm running 4 fronts on my GTA. Give the rear view a wider, better look, stance.

Tire or rim? Both depend on the backspacing & your willingness to mod your inner fender lips& wheel well.

There is always outer quarter panel widening & repainting, but that's getting beyond a home job, and best left to professional which = $$$$$$$.

I think the car and the wheels look great, although like stated before, it could definitely use a tint job. Clean ride.
