Those look good. Honestly, I wish I had money for rims like that. If the center section was just a little smaller or even with the rest of the rims they would look so much better but nice either way. I have been meaning to go with C6 brakes for a long time but I dont have the cash to get rims, tires, and the brake kit.

^ Google that name you see in the caption above the pic. I dunno if they are a sponsor, but they are the cheapest.

They are 18's which I wanted. The wheels cost a lot less than you might think. Honestly, I seriously doubt 17's would have fit these brakes (with this particalur wheel). The caliper is 1/2 from the wheel/spokes.

I got them from work (Discount Tire). They can order almost anything. Last I knew, they had 8.5" and 9.5". I know, its sorta small, but I've got those and I'm running 275's up front and 295's out back.

You guys like my color scheme for the calipers and brackets? I'm debating on if I should put silver Trans Am decals on. I like things to be nice, clean and suddle.

At first I thought they were a tad to "bling" but I like them now. With black centers they would look really good on my ride I think.

They do make them in black with a polished lip. Looks Sick. Josh99TA had some on his old red TA. I don't usually like black wheels, but i'd pimp those on the right color car.

I'd say you got a really good deal man. I got my wheels for basically $200 each. I put on some used tires for free too. The rears got old and I bought some expensive GS-D3's for over 600

If they would make these in the actual GM bolt pattern I think I would be all over them. Looks great man from a few feet away looks like you spent 3k on wheels Love the color, the brakes and the stance that is a sweet TA!!!

I didn't think an 20x10.5 would fit in the back but i'm probablt wrong. I know they sure do look good though.

Yeah, other than the rivets those are really similar to what I want (iForged Evolves) I forgot how massive those C5 front rotors were. Looks good man.
