Looking for a new set of wheels for a Trans Am WS6. Seems like the popular wheels from 20 years ago are no longer made, or are over $1K per wheel.
That being said, I am looking at some Forgestar designs, but obviously they are limited in designs. Curious as to what everyone recommends in today’s market. Thanks in advance, and post pics of you have any!

I love those wheels and in fact, my car came with those from the factory. I am preserving them and would like another set for driving as they are the original tires as well.
That being said, I would like to either explore other design options or purchase the same style wheel in 18”.

If by "factory" you mean GM (or GM contracted WS6 conversion vendor ASC/American Sunroof Company) then it wouldn't have come with American Racing wheels from the factory. If you are referring to the Blackbird dealership package then it would have come with the similar-but-different (and older design) TT2 (or TTII = Torq Thrust II) wheel sourced by the dealer as part of their post-assembly package. For reference and clarification, the specific wheels pictured by NC01TA above are actually TTM.
Understood, and yes I apologize for not being more specific, as I do understand the difference. Yes, the car was delivered to Carl Black from GMMG with American Racing Wheels.
