nice choice, paint them black though
well now since the whole car is black(no stripes and the trans am emblems are black)
the wheels as they are really set the car off. I entertained the idea of painting them but I decided to keep them the way they are.

What type are they? How much? I liked them with the stripes also but you said it is all black now (no stripes) right?
yep all black, no stripes. they are made by NZO, a company that really does shoes for german cars i.e. bmw, volkswagen. but the f-body bolt pattern is the same as BMW. So when I went to see my buddy he pointed this out and I saw that nasty set of wheels. He gave me a deal because he has done my other vehicles-$1400

As you may or may not know, the BMW bolt pattern isn't identical to the F-Body's. Plenty of people run them but as a cautionary measure they tend to check the tighness every once in a while?

BMW = 5 x 120mm
F car = 5 x 120.65mm

.65mm = .0255 (difference in lug dia.)
(.013 difference at each lug)
It is a very small difference!

While I love the style of your wheels I have to say I just never have liked the look of big rims with small rotors. It just dosent look right. Now if you get some bigger brakes that will definetly look badass
