not feeling the yellow fog lamp covers or the 4x4 stance... if she was lowered, the wheels might not look too bad.

I actually like the wheels. They'd look even better with the car lowered a bit.
The yellow in the foglights and turnsignals I'm not to crazy about.

Ok....so I just got rid of the covers....what wheels would you think would look good?? Same old Thrusts, some Z06 or C5's???? The thing I dont want to look like a clone of every other f-body I see at shows or the net. (no offense to either of you) I always liked the Smoothies maybe 17 or 18...in 17 I could run my present tires.

Oh and I think a 4x4 is a tad taller dont you think? Lowering is not considered due to road conditions where I live, I like a smooth ride as possible.
Thanks for you input.

Actually the C5' s aren't as used as the TT2's or Z06's. I think the Y2K' s look bad *** on f-bodies personally. The Smoothie 2' s look good on anything, as well as the Privat Profils. I didn' t intend to offend you, wheels of that sort have never been my preference. The Trans Am is already a radical looking car, so a simple 5-spoke design is all you need to set the car off. No matter what you do to a car, someone else isn' t going to like something about it. The only advice I can give, is if you don' t want negative comments, don' t post the pic. Who cares what other people think? It's your car, your money. As long as you aren' t completely transforming it into something that looks nothing a Trans Am, do what makes you happy!

Thanks for the input guys! Those wheels are BBS an I got them almost by accident. Just one of those deals you just cant let pass by. I was between Smoothies 2 or those 19" Evo wheels with the mad lip. These BBS are exceptionally well constructed and very light. I dont know the exact weight but they feel a lot lighter than the standard 16 inchers. Next in the mod list is a Fuddle converter, 3500 maybe....new wheels also been considered...this **** never stop. Not to mention I will be getting,next year possibly, a brand new Vette!!!!!!!!

Nice looking car, I love silver T/A's which is why I own one too! I like the BBS wheels. I just ordered some Boyd Coddington 'Tune' wheels which look similar to yours. Why did you post it as a WS7 on here, but have a WS6 emblem in the pics?

WAAYY better!!! Stock box is very restrictive. Besides the Bling factor with this system you will notice better throtle response and slightly louder exhaust note.

most of the clones have an odd shaped nostril but yours looks good.
