Default Wheel Suggestion Black '02 Trans Am

Well, I am looking to change some things up. I currently have the stock WS.6 wheels on my Trans Am and was seeking suggestions.

Please feel free to include pics.

Thanks so much.

i think one of the best looking rims for the T/A are 18" chrome C6 rims. they just fit perfect on T/A.

Do you plan on lowering the car?

Choosing the right wheels for your car will also depend on the stance of the vehicle. If you plan to go with bigger wheels and a lower profile tire, the wheel gap will appear more obvious.

If you plan to leave the suspension alone, i would stick with 17s, or maybe a 17/18 combo. If it was me and i wasn't going to lower the car i would just have the stock ws6 wheels widened in the rear to 11'' and run some 315's.

Like said above the c6 wheels are a solid choice and look really nice on these cars. If you plan on lowering it - go with some 18s or 19s

Edit: Also how much $$$$ are you planning on forking over for a set of wheels/tires ?

I all ready replaced the four tires recently with some Firehawks...just the stock size on all 4.

I have no plans of doing any suspension work on the car. Would just be looking for some nice rims to fit the stock tire size.

ok whole different ball game, honestly - in a 17x9.5 wheel all the way around, you aren't going to get much better looking than the stock wheel. You could try zr-1's or something but you are going to get sick of them just as fast as your stockers.

Burn these new tires off first, and then think about changing it up when its time to replace again

Drifz makes some wheels that look like the ADR's that are pretty sick.
