I hear ya, I'm happy with the width, but the height probably won't ever grow on me. They are for function alone really (as far as height), with the 26's (315/35/17's) I had to shut the car down at 135MPH, and from a 50 roll, an 80MPH spread is pretty crappy, with these I'll be able to go up to 150 in my 1:1 so it will make it a lot more of a race. There are only a few cars I need to run that I'll need a tire this big, I may switch them back after.

they look good but i think they would look absolutly amazing with the gloss lip and satin center, and a pinstripe on the lip like 98z28darkness's car expect blue to tie in with your calipers

I think it looks pretty tough but........I really can't say I like them better than before. I have chrome C6's and really want to change up my wheels, too. I'm really looking at these. i want some color to my wheels but can't bring myself to black.
By the way I have a black 99 T/A.

I LOVE how these wheels look at night, they are growing on me during the day too. However, I liked the polish all the way around, but I like this setup more so at night than the polished, if that makes sense, so it evens out for me. I actually have the pinstripe for the blue, but I'm still not sure if I want to do it or not. Thanks again for the comments, positive and negative!

Now you gotta change your sig. I would say NO to a pinstripe on those wheels. Maybe on a Vette but not your Trans Am.

I think it looks evil. Not only do they look good but it is so much easier to clean them. That is why I had the drag pack powdercoated. Polishing wheels mesh wheels suck! Here is the satin center with gloss black lips. Your FM10's would look sick with that combination.

I hear ya, they are still growing on me, but they definitely aren't for everybody. I think I may get another set of wheels as extras to change the cars attitude when I get bored.

if you want to pinstripe just find some matching blue vinyl pinstripe tape and 10-15 mins a wheel installing and your good to go. its how i did mine its for only 5bucks and the option to remove it whenever i like
