Does anyone know where I can get a different center cap for these rims. I have them on my TA and would like to change from the corvette emblem that they came with. Thanks.

Yes those are C6 wheels. Look at the link above, they offer them in 18x10.5 and 17x9.5, you can choose however you want to run them with those sizes.

They don't. The only 17's they currently have that are >9.5" are the ZR1s. Soon the C5 DD will be offered in 17x11.

^just sell em- put that money toward the new set. you should send them a pm to see if they can get those sizes for you- they are a sponsor on here, and they have an ebay site under the same name. i've bought both sets of rims i have from them on ebay, and they're really easy to work with, really helpful.

thay also offer their c6's in a 18 x 9.5 - i have them.

TORCHD- kinda funny you liked his rims too. i was just talking to SilverGhost aka the Powder Pro a few days ago, i'm going to be sending him the set of chrome C6's i have on my camaro to get powder coated black. and i'm leaving a small chrome "lip" like the rims on the red trans am i showed you.

I jsut sent OEWheels a PM to see if he can make me a set of 17x10.5s out back..

I have always like the C6 rims, my TTMs are getting old. They are basically brand new.. prolly about 3K miles on them..

tell me about it. when i got my car and was trying to figure out what to do with it i searched cardomain ls1tech for any and all red T/A's to help get an idea for different looks. his car and this one really stuck out to me: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3214188 -he actually had me REALLY close to getting blackbird stripes, but then decided on the checkered flags...much less popular, to this day, i've probably seen less then 5 with them online, and never in person.

Car looks good with those TTMs, but I think it needs to be lowered a little bit. Then you might change your mind. Those C6 wheels above look bad *** like that.

oh damm, didnt realize id seen your car before, cause at the time i saw your pics i didnt really pay enough attention to your sig to associate it with you. i saw pics of it in the "post your red trans am" thread. you had one of the few in the thread that had black rims, helped make my decision to go black with the contrasting lip, and honestly, your car was literally THE one car, that i saw that made me do the ceta mad on my car.
