YES! Exactly what I plan on getting for my '00 Red TA this winter... Did you go 18x10.5 rear and 17x9.5 front?

Thanks everyone i like them to they are from oe wheels and thier chrome ,but one thing i ran into on the rear rims i had to grind down where you put the center cap because they wouldnt go over the hub. I was wondering if anyone else has had to do this? Btw i sold the old wheels.

They were probably made to fit the LS1 rear hubs. If I remember correctly, there is a little bit of size difference between the LT1 and LS1 rear hubs. Only had to grind off like a mm, right? No big deal.
