RTS Rims

Does anyone have any pics of the Weld RTS on a trans am? I have some ordered and they are still 3 weeks out I was kind of trying to get a feel for what they are going to look like on the car.

Thanks guys for the pics. I finally got mine in and they sent me the wrong ones. I ordered polished and when I got them they were the black ones. They are going to be on a white car as soon as I get it painted and put back together. What do you guys think? If I keep them them I am going to put the trans am logos back on the sides but in black and I am going to do the stripe on the side of the snorkels along with the ram air in black. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I think the black would look sick on white.

If I have strange brakes, can I get them with a straighter spoke? Not the curved that makes them look like a polished torque thrustII rim from a angle?

They do not come with a straighter spoke. They do come in 3 diff rim arch sizes to help with brake fitment. Ill post some pic of the rears.

They are all curved spokes, just some less than others depending on Low pad, Medium pad, or High pad.

Thats some pretty sweet info. When I was talking to the rep at weld he said that all the spokes were the same curve, it just depended on the pad clearance arch to the degree of the curve in the length. But that def shows that the arches are a little diff.
