Cool New Wheels on the Trans Am

Got some new wheels last night from mean94lt1. Torq Thrust II's. 17x9.5" fronts with some tiny 245/35R17's and 17x11" rears with 315/45R17's. Polished aluminum, not chrome. Some crap cell phone shots of them this morning - still dirty as I didn't get a chance to polish 'em:

No way. Stripes rock.

ditch the stripes so the car looks like the rest of the cars doesn't seem logical. Leave the stripes.

Thanks on the wheels guys. I have a new thread with better, non-cell phone photos.

Ah the stripe debate. I disliked 'em at first but they grew on me. I'm most likely going to have my buddy paint some flat black stripes on in place of these vinyl white ones. Or I'll find some flat black vinyl if I don't have time to drop it off at paint.

EVERY Trans Am I've seen in this area is stripe-less, so I do like the unique factor they bring. But, then about 75% of new Camaro's have the stripes, so that is a bother. We'll see how things go with that.
