I want this car and these wheels but in GLOSS BLACK w/the polished lip...
I'd keep the stock Collectors wheels under raps and only for car shows..

Ive seen quite a few upfront, they look like something when I make a Omlet, not bright enough yellow paint. Still rare none the less.

I saw one in the auto trader, wanted top buck and it had like 95 16" painted twist 5-spokes :puke:

Well they dont make the CETA wheels anymore so I figured if I went with a AR TTIIs in BLACK and just used the CETA wheels for shows they would stay perfect...

I can remember dealerships where having a hard time pushing the '02 special addition cars when they first came out. Espically up here. Personally I like the '99's better. But its cool to own an '02 just because it was the last year...

I would stay away from all vinyl-appearance cars (like the special editions, pace cars, and anniversary cars), because it's probably a headache having to polish/wax around the vinyl stripes. If it had to be a Trans Am, then a regular, prestine Maple Red Metallic Trans Am would be the way to go. I know that color was rarer than SOM in 2002 and is nowhere close to being as played out today as SOM.
