Default Gun Metal rims for Trans Am?

I have been searching high and low for Gun Metal rims that fit. Seems every set I find is only for import cars. Figures... If any one knows of any that will fit a 98 Trans Am, please let me know. Im not looking for that thin spoke crap, they have to be meaty, like a 2.5 inch thick 5 spoke or something. Thanks in advance if anyone knows of any.

SLP Has some for Sale 17x8... $699 for a set of 4.



Correction This appears to only fit Third Gens, but you want to inquire with them if they can provide this finish on other wheels.

Damn those look nice, need some 17x11's though for the back and they would be perfect.

Considering it was done in 10 mins, id say its pretty good. If I really wanted to spend the time, id model it in 3d. Haha.

I have the Torque Thrust II Classics on my Formula. Not exactly gunmetal; gray, but I think they look damn good and they are available in 17X11 .

You're thinking of Bullit wheels.
