Default best looking wheels on a white trans am

Does anyone have a white trans am to post pics and to tell me the size and offset of them.

Seems like white is a tough color to get things to flow

I saw a white formula with black vert top sporting some 18x9.5/19x10 C6 ZR1 in black it looked pretty sexy. If I see it again I'll post some pics up for you.

if youre looking to spend a little extra money Forgestar F14s look beautiful on T/As.

I have always been partial to chrome zr1's. I put them on a loooooooong time ago, and a few people have followed suit.

Front is lowered about .75", rear is not. No rolling necessary. The rear is 17x11, I couldn't tell you the back spacing as I put them on when I was a junior in high school, lol. I know they offered them in 2 offsets, I chose the one that tucked in closer to the car.

They were from SLP, and no banging need, but I could have. There is a tiny tiny rub spot in wheel wells, maybe .5 long, and not deep at all.

I want to say it was 1999 or 2000

Before it was lowered


After it was lowered


Walk around of the car.

It was between these and fikse fm5s but I couldn't justify paying double for them when I worked at Hardee's in high school, lol.

They are 50mm offset. They also come in a 36mm, and stick out farther. People have had to roll ones with 36mm offset. They are also more troublesome in the 36mm offset if you are trying to lower it.

This is for the rear anyways. The fronts are 17x9.5, and have no idea what the offset is.

They also have them deep dish on eBay now, they look pretty slick.

It is tough to go wrong with Fikse or CCW.

Those are probably anywhere from 2600 used to 3400 new. Fikse FM-5's.
