Are you actually still debating what year his car is? Dude, read what he says on his car's web page. IT IS AN 84 Trans Am. He put parts on it from an 88 GTA so now he calls it an 88 GTA.
It's apparent that you can read. Give it a try. I posted his link for you. 3rd paragraph down says it was "originally an 84 Trans am" and " I put 88 GTA parts on it", like "hood", "spoiler", "taillights".

Ohhhhh I get it, you have a REAL gta!!!! OMG a REAL GTA!! so your mad because im calling my car a gta when it isnt one. for your info I do have an 88 gta, i Stripped it down and transfered all the parts to my 84, i could care less if its a real gta, or else i would of swapped everything over to the 88. I guess ill never be in the exclusive GTA club
Anyway good luck with your Pontiac
I like the plans you have. It will look and run very well. Mine has the Torquer v2 and PRC 5.3 stage 2.5 heads along with most of the mods you have or more. It should look great, be 1 of a kind, and maybe run 10's in the quarter (if you can hook it).
Good luck.

I was thinking about the smokey and the bandit year one wheels, they make them in a 17" now,
I like them, just dont have the money for them right now. maybe tax return

Those wheels are nice ^^
4th gen trans am wheels such as the ws6 speed lines or some mint condition early model ws6 wheels would be sweet.
But why an ms3 when you can get a custom specd cam ?

I have a 1991 Trans Am GTA and I can totally relate to how you feel about the wheels. I totally refuse to remove mine for anything else. I did however find 2 companies that will make exact duplicates of these wheels in any diameter and width I want. The only thing that's holding me back is the price. One company quoted me $1,500 per wheel and the other is $1,250 per wheel. I'm going to get them made soon, but I need to finish getting my car restored first. My car is currently in the shop getting repainted, and when I get it back the new interior goes in.

I love the crosslace, if a company made aftermarket 18" crosslace wheels, i would totally do it, but not over 1000 a wheel, ive seen the ones your talking about, they are nice, but i dont need to upgrade unless i go bigger on brakes. 16" is hard to find good performance tires for, i was running toyo ra1's for a while, those were nice, i little small in the back (255).
This is the company I plan on using to make my 18 x 9.5 and 18 x 11 GTA wheels:

Evod Wheels quoted me a price of $1,500 per wheel. I'm hoping I'll be able to talk them down on the price a little. 
They're pricier than this company I talked to: http://www.trudesignwheel.net/ True Design quoted me a price of $1,250 per wheel, but I've seen the very impressive work that Evod Wheels does.
