Default Help me decide what rims? Your opinion does count

The reason I am asking for your opinion is because my rear is Narrowed 3' on each side so the rears are going to have that deep dish look, so maybe you have seen what each of these rims look like with small anount of backspacing.Rims will be 18x9.5 upfront and 18x11 in rear. I like the following and this is for the CAR IN SIGTHANKS....

My vote was for the Aero's. A very very close second I would choose the CCW SP550's. Not a fan of anything other than 5 spoke personally. I guess your not a fan but I would probaly get the Fiske FM5's over them all if it were me.

can't go wrong with any of those choices in my opinion but never seen sp20a's or senekas on a trans am before would be cool to do something original

The 550's or the 505's.

Not really a fan of IForged, to "blingy" and only certain wheels can pull of rivets. IMO, those can't.

If it was me, 550's.

I completely agree. I'm not a fan of bolts on any wheel, even if they are needed because they're 3 piece. I also, would choose a different finish. I'm not a fan of chrome.

IMHO, the SP550's are the cleanest unclutterred wheels there, and ones I haven't seen on a car yet. Are you selling your wheels?

Already sold them a while back I agree with your statement about the SP550's. I just dont know if they would look good on my car because my rear is narrowed 3' on each side.

I vote the Senekas; then the sp20s. With the T/As, they can pull off a full wheel VERY well and look b/a!! Do not settle for the 5 spoke with yours

if you want to bling then either one of the Iforged, if not get the 505s. The 505s look best to me.

CCW sp550's, CCW sp505a, or CCWsp20a all will look good. The sp20a's would be different I would like to see how they look on a TA.

I think 550s with a deep dish would look GREAT.

They are all winners.
