Default What Rims?

I got Gunmetal ZR1's on my Trans Am now.... don't really care for them.

What rims would look best on my car? Prefer 17 inch because my tires are expensive. Nitto Drag Radials with 315 rear and 275 up front.

The last owner had Axis Hiros on it and they look amazing on this car Just can't find them anywhere and there discontinued now

Axis Hiros 19x9.5

Budniks are worth it. Trust me. I had them on my Firehawk a while back. 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear. Rears had a huge lip. I saved for a year and a half for them. They are well worth the wait. It will bring your car to that "next" level. Here are a couple pics of my Firehawk with them;

If you're worried about keeping relatively cheap tires, you need to re evaluate getting rims. especially since everything you've posted in this thread cost at LEAST 1200 (not counting tax or shipping) for the wheels, let alone the tires.

I was just gonna get 17" rims so I don't need to get new tires. It's got Nitto 555R's on it right now.

Wow, those look good! And they are cheap! I might end up getting these in 19 inch plus some new rubber ......

Moe had HP Evo's on it too, these rims look the same.

^ Aren't the 505's discontinued as well? I thought I seen they were no longer available. If so, I may get a set and get rid of these TT2's...
