After talking with Twin_Turbo and JeremyNYR I went with the snowflakes. Their cars looked great and I Love the Platinum TA. So here are mine to add to the list..

 

looks awesome...

 

Looks great, How much room do you have from rubbing anything? I want 18s in the rear with zero offset and the Billit wheels. What do you think? Also what size tires did you go with up front. I know Jeremy went with 245 up front.

 

These are 17x9 Cast wheels and they have no rubbing issues. I am not sure how the billet version would do. I went with 255/40-17's on the front and Jeremy was right you could go with 275's all the way around. In The cast wheels anyway.

 

Your car looks sweet! Nice job! I think 275 up front and 285 in the rear would look good too. I want more of a lip in the back though.

 

you know i never thought i would like a rim as much as my gta's original wheels. but these things are REALLY growing on me. Looks REALLY good bro.

 

love them if I ever get a formula or GTA that will be my first mod

 

Some New Pics I am actually torn now, I was wanting to get into a 2nd gen TA but now i am having to really think about it.

 

Beautiful car! Any spacers required?

 

Thanks,No I didn't have to change anything they bolted right on.

 

They look great have you considered a slight drop in height maybe 1",

 

Ive been looking for some 2nd gen wheels for a thirdgen, where did you get them? Also I have a 4th gen rear end, would i be able to get these wheels with the correct offset for the front, but a 4th offset for the rear? Thanks!

 

I have considered it but the roads around here are so rough i dunno if i will or not. It is still at the factory height.

 

I got these from year one and they bolted right on. There is a difference in the offset for a 4th gen rear end and these particular wheels only come one way i think. I could be wrong so please check with Year one.

 

Looks great. Love the factory look. Very good choice.

really motivates me to buy a bird just so i can put these wheels on, looks great.

 

How much did the rims cost u?

 

$749 plus shipping so it was a hair under $900 not including the centercaps and lugs. I would recommend getting those from Ebay as they cost $180 for the caps and $95 for the lugs from Year One.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong. But are these the YearOne 17 inch 4th gen wheels? These look to have more lip than the ones on their site.

 

No They actually are for the 2nd gen cars but they will fit a 3rd gen no problem. That is unless you've modified your suspension. Then you may have to check. 4th gen have more of an offset I am told.

 

Looks great!!

Mark.

 

Here are a few shots before I put her up for the winter.

I am currently working on putting a shaker on her for spring. I have the hood and shaker, just need the time LOL

 

Nice. I definately see my wife getting a set of these for christmas.

 

Santa took you up on you suggestion and delivered her a set for Christmas in 17"

 

Well Merry Christmas!! I think a set of those would even improve the look of Santa's sled!! Post a few pics when you get them mounted.

 

Have you thought of putting a Turbo Bird on the hood instead of a shaker, like off a 80-81




Ive never seen it done And I think it would look Slick

 

I am this far along already, I want to keep my original hood original. I may put the bird on this one though.

 

Bota - I wish I wouldn't have seen this post. All I can think about now is putting a set on my TA. I have been looking for the right wheel and I do like the look of a factory style. Sort of makes the car look like a cross between OEM and custom.

Your car looks great and the wheels are perfect. Well done!

 

look awesome! drop the car an 1" and it would be perfect!

 

Yeah with wheels that big and tires that low profile you NEED a drop. But it looks amazing. Very, very good, beautiful car.

 

What offset did you get is it the 4 7/8 ones

 

...nice, I must say they do look good.....to bad they don't make them in a 17x10...that would be even sweeter....

 

I am TRYING to get myself hooked up with some 17x9 Snowflake rims. Question is about backspacing.... The ones I want have a backspacing of 6.5. Are they gonna fit my '88 Formula without any issues? Then there's the tires. I have wanted to fill up my wheel wells instead of the "swimming" look I am getting with my stock 16x8 245/50/16's, but I don't want any rubbing, or tires sticking out past the flare. Tryin' to get this ball rolling. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

they look fantastic. ...just ordered them for my 82 TA. 275 all around 17 × 9

 

Did you have to use spacers? Are these the Year One wheels?
