Excuse the mess because we had a flood, so the garage is a little full of household belongings.

Came home this morning to find this: my XXR 521 wheels.

Those wheels are going to look good on the TransAM. Nice choice. What tires and size are you going to be running on? Also, what is your off set and spacer you'll be running?

Pretty sure it's 1.25" front adapter and 1" rear. These wheels are +25. Undecided on tires.

Very nice, rgauder! They will look great on the car.


My water heater sprung a leak last week and flooded my laundry room and kitchen. Know the feeling.
