not feeling the yellow fog lamp covers or the 4x4 stance... if she was lowered, the wheels might not look too bad.

I actually like the wheels. They'd look even better with the car lowered a bit.
The yellow in the foglights and turnsignals I'm not to crazy about.

Ok....so I just got rid of the covers....what wheels would you think would look good?? Same old Thrusts, some Z06 or C5's???? The thing I dont want to look like a clone of every other f-body I see at shows or the net. (no offense to either of you) I always liked the Smoothies maybe 17 or 18...in 17 I could run my present tires.

Oh and I think a 4x4 is a tad taller dont you think? Lowering is not considered due to road conditions where I live, I like a smooth ride as possible.
Thanks for you input.

Actually the C5' s aren't as used as the TT2's or Z06's. I think the Y2K' s look bad *** on f-bodies personally. The Smoothie 2' s look good on anything, as well as the Privat Profils. I didn' t intend to offend you, wheels of that sort have never been my preference. The Trans Am is already a radical looking car, so a simple 5-spoke design is all you need to set the car off. No matter what you do to a car, someone else isn' t going to like something about it. The only advice I can give, is if you don' t want negative comments, don' t post the pic. Who cares what other people think? It's your car, your money. As long as you aren' t completely transforming it into something that looks nothing a Trans Am, do what makes you happy!

Thanks for the input guys! Those wheels are BBS an I got them almost by accident. Just one of those deals you just cant let pass by. I was between Smoothies 2 or those 19" Evo wheels with the mad lip. These BBS are exceptionally well constructed and very light. I dont know the exact weight but they feel a lot lighter than the standard 16 inchers. Next in the mod list is a Fuddle converter, 3500 maybe....new wheels also been considered...this **** never stop. Not to mention I will be getting,next year possibly, a brand new Vette!!!!!!!!

Nice looking car, I love silver T/A's which is why I own one too! I like the BBS wheels. I just ordered some Boyd Coddington 'Tune' wheels which look similar to yours. Why did you post it as a WS7 on here, but have a WS6 emblem in the pics?

WAAYY better!!! Stock box is very restrictive. Besides the Bling factor with this system you will notice better throtle response and slightly louder exhaust note.
