Default 11 yrs looking for wheels...might have found them
i've been looking at wheels since my car was new. no aftermarket wheel really appealed to me until now. they come out later this year. might look good on a 4th gen.

I actually like those as well...have a cool old school feel to them. Looks like they are are going to offer 17x9 & 17x10.5.

They don't look bad but the flat spoke profile on an fbody doesn't quite do it, maybe if I saw it in person

I can already tell you those won't look good on a 4th gen. Those straight spokes don't flow with the curvy lines of these cars.

Those wheels would look more at home on a Mustang.

its hard to tell from the picture but if the black part of the spoke poking out is rounded and not pointed or triangular, they should look good. i understand about the comments needing a more rounded 'tt2' like. hmm

If those wheels do go on a 4th gen, they would look better on a camaro than a trans am, since the camaros have sharper body lines.
