I like your TA, and the shop did a good job. But I think the wheels are too big. The rear side of the rear wheels look awfully close to the body. Has anyone else noticed that?

Your car would look better (IMO) with a set of 17 or 18" black Z06 wheels, chrome ZR1 wheels or good ol WS6 chrome wheels.

i will probably be buying ccw's in the spring, maybe even HRE for the hell of it. I am with most of you with the 20's being too big, they are for my dads 65 cutlass showcar, they were sitting in the garage and that is what went on for the time being. Luckily they fit, otherwise, the car would be in the body shop even longer The wheels look good on some, but not so good on mine I do agree with you guys that dont like it, but hey for the time being you cannot beat the price lol I need to figure out why the passenger side rear is lower, it is stumping my father and I. I have a lowering kit right now but i def cannot put it on the rear, the passenger side rubs now as it is, with stock springs. The body shop said nothing was tweaked in the rear end, but why else would one side be higher than the other?
