Default wtb 16" ws6 wheels

Im looking for 2 16" ws6 wheels to use for the winter, i will be putting snow tires on these wheels so the wheels do not have to be perfect, just need to match the 17" stock ws6 wheels i will have in the front..

FYI, they didn't make the WS6 wheels in 16". The WS6 option included 17" wheels as part of the package.

So unless someone makes them in aftermarket, you're not going to find them in 16".

no, they do make them in 16" and from the factory. I forget what year exactly that they came on (2000 i think had them) and were changed to 17" in 01 and 02 models. The 16' s were 16x8 and were chrome the 17's were 17x9 and polished..... My main issue is that snow tires for the 17" cost more and since the wheel is 9" wide i can only go down to a 245 size tire which really isnt narrow enough for good snow traction. I have stock silver painted twisted star wheels that do not match the ws6 wheels since i only change the 2 rear wheels (have all season tires up front)

My car was not a ws6, and I had those exact wheels on my car from the factory. They were chrome as an option. In 2000 when I bought my car, you had a choice on the trans ams of 16", 16" in chrome, and then the weird looking 16" 3 spoke wheels. The WS6 rims were a different style 5 spoke and only came on the ws6 package and were most definitely only offered in 17x9".

I'll try and find my sales brochure and take a picture of the factory wheel options.

IIRC the verts could have a 16" similar to the 16" ZR1's that were on the camaro verts. This was in the LT1 days I think.

Those are the NON-WS6 wheels. All WS.6s, as well as SS cars came with 17s.

Correct, these are just standard 16" ABS wheels that came on my 98 T/A. I'm keeping two to put slicks on. PM me if interested.

I have 5 of those 16" ABS wheels. 4 are on the 01 T/A now. I am looking to upgrade but until I find some for a good deal or find some money to buy new, I can only sell one.
