Post Trans am Rim Options

I'm sure ls1tech gets alot of post similar to this,
but We must all admit that chossing the right rim that we like
Can be a very very though cookie,

Well First of all
I Have a Red trans am (rare right? lol)
I want an aftermarket rim, im into the corvette replica thing,
But i do live in a place in texas that is humid Alot...
My old girlfriend had a set of chrome zr1's
That started to rust after 2-3 years,
so i really want to avoid chrome,
im also not a big fan of chrome.
I would like a High Polished aluminum Or Black with a machined face.
Size dont really matter, i wouldnt mind doing the BFH mod,
i just want a bigger tire then the stock 275,
(I do drag race and i will be using DR.)

I dont like c6 style rims (normal corvette rims, thin.)
besides that I like all other corvette replicas,

I was wondering if any one out there with a red ta with after market rims, can post up pics? and help me decide of what set of rims i want


Also, what do you guys think would be a nice rim on a red ta?
all black,Black with a machined face, High Polished aluminum ... etc.

Thank you in advance to the people that will take time, to post pics up,

Thank you for reading,

Ws6kid.,

CCW rims look great on a red trans am, that's if you're willing to spend that kind of money.

In OEWheels thread, there's a sweet red WS6 somewhere in the earlier pages, with black C6's, with a chrome lip. Looks amazing. That's what I'd choose if I had a red one. Otherwise, you could try out the machined face DD C5's. I love them on my car, but not so sure how they'd look on red. They looked pretty good on a red LT1 Camaro I saw, and that's what made me want them.

CCW has a wheel and tire special right now for $2,950-$3,500 bucks depending on what size and style ya pick. But they only have a couple styles included on the list for this special. Best bet is to go to the website and pick your favorite design and call them to get a quote.

EDIT: Trans Am's look nasty on some 505A's...

I got these through OE and am very pleased with the way they look. Not sure how they'd look on a red TA though.
