yes, those are very rare WS6 wheels, production was stopped very early on. some say that the wheel mold or something was broken and they stopped, or just that they stopped becuase they didnt look good

ive never seen the machined wheels, i like them. the painted ones not so much

Not a bad price for some winter wheels. Hard to find ones at that.

I think they're sweet looking. Much better than the original LT1 TA/Formula wheels which are along the same lines styling wise. These just look nicer in 17" and more flat/open design. I'm not a huge fan of 3 spoke wheels but these I really like.

Early 95-96 Sunfire GT's did have a similar 3 spoke design to the TA wheel. I believe it had simulated rivets on the lug cover cap and wasn't as detailed in design as the TA wheels.

It is a Pontiac after all. I've seen way worse designs come from Pontiac over the years.

I am going to be selling mine soon. They are very rare. I get compliments on them all of the time. Mine are polished - makes a big difference.

That just means some ******* decided to use your pic without asking you. I'd tell him to take it down, or if he's hotlinking from you I'd change it to something different.
