Default Finally got new rims

My 98 TA had 94 TA rims on it and it looked terrible. Finally got around to changing them out. What do you guys think? Don't mind the clear coat on the hood. Working on that next.

Yeah I only snagged the Stock ones because the rims that came with the car were cheap and wouldn't hold a seal with the tire. My buddy sold me the stock ones with new tires on it for 400 bucks so I couldn't turn it down. Needed tires bad at the time.

Have to agree with everyone else, the new rims look way better on your car.

Yeah I have yet to see then on a fbody. I did see it on a G8 on the site I ordered them from. I was wanting to go just a tad bigger(wider) but I was trying to save a few bucks for the suspension work coming up. This is my daily driver. I do about 75 miles a day in it so the suspension gets a lot of wear considering I have no idea when it had any suspension work. I have owned it since 04 and I never did any work to the car. I will post some cleaned up pics of the rims. They were kinda dirty when I took the pics. I would like to see what yours looks like on your car.

The back ones are painted red but they look awful. I was thinking about painting them black and ordering the Trans Am caliper decals in red off of the ws6 store.

That would look better I think. Car looks sweet with the new wheels.
