Hard Time Selecting Wheels

Hey Guys...

Im having a hard time selecting a style wheel for my 86 TA. I look and look then they all seem to blend together. I know I def want 17X8's.

Anyone have any good suggestions or pics they can post for me to take a look.

Also, If anyone has anything for sale let me know. Im up in the Poconos, PA Any members from the area on?

You should post some pics up of your ride. Here is my suggestion: http://whippetwheels.com/view-wheel-...ned-with-black

I went with Cragar Soft 8's. They're priced well, and have a nice "Racey" or "Old school" look to them that I like.

Those look good on the '82-84 T/A's...I don't think they'd look that great on the '85-90 T/A's though. I know, they're basically the same car, but the newer ones have more updated and modern looking ground effects and such.
