Default Weld RT-S Wheels(PICS)
15x4- 165-80-15

15x10- 295-55-15 MT Drag Radials.

It's amazing how much the color of the car changes with the flash/light.

The hood is one of the original Superhawk. The paint is a speciality color that we came up with. I may reshoot cyber grey metallic. The wheels are top notch and great quality.

Why? Because a few people on the internet have them? How many 4th gen F bodies pull up next to you at a red light in your city with RTS wheels? There's a thread on SVTP with 100+ pages of Cobras with CCW Classics, but I've never seen a Cobra pull up next to me anywhere around my state with the same set.

Dumbest reason not to buy a set of wheels comment award goes to you.

Agreed mostly. If something looks good on something...it looks good. No denying it.

I know at least two other trans am's that have these wheels that I run around with. One is black just like mine and one is orange.I like the wheels but won't put a set on my car. Same reason I sold my street lites got sick of seeing them every where. They a great wheel and a great price but I like to be different from every other 4th gen fbody out there.

Love the hood and the color OP! I just got my superhawk last month from Roger and can't wait to paint it. No one else around will have this hood either that's why I bought it!

Curious why you wouldn't go with a 315 or 325 over the 295 since they are all 28". I'm switching to a 26" 275 cause I don't want a 28".

Main reason is I didn't want to have to modify the inner fender wells to get the 315/325 to fit. The 295 fits with no issues.

That is one more reason I am going to a 275... 325s are a pain to say the least.

You should probably sell your Trans Am, and buy a VW Bus. You know, since there's other ones in town. It would be a shame for you to be seen with the same car other folks are rolling in town.
