rims for grad so i just graduated and my dad has decided to get rims for my car for a grad gift, so i have lik 3-4 grand to spend ,i want to get 18's- 20's , but i have no clue wut rims look good on this car , could some of you post post some pics of your ta's with big rims
These are 17's. I have seen some T/A's with bigger and I just don't like the look. Thats just my .02. I got these at Discount Tire. I like them. I am going to get wider for the rear, but for now 17x8.5 will do just fine. Good luck. Post pics after you get something that you like.
20's on a t/a = 
PLEASE dont get the blinging 20" wheels that weigh 60lbs each... you will get so much crap for doing that.
you need to get something with a nice stance, and something that compliments the car. big and chrome doesnt always compliment the car, but would rather make your car look like a hotwheels car, and a lifted one at that. what im getting at, is the bigger rim you go, the smaller profile tire you get, which in return creates the illusion of a larger wheel gap verse something like a 17" wheel.
fikse fm5 17x9.5/17x11... expensive, but awesome

sportmax 962 18x9.5
tt2's 17x9.5/17x11
zo6 17x9.5
my friends red lt1, just like yours. with zr1's, 17x9.5
i know those arent the same color, or year of your car, but these wheels are popular, and look great on trans am's.

I dont have pics but can lend you this advice....LISTEN to what the others are saying. 18's will be ok, if you want to get rid of the gap, lower your car about 1.5-2 inches.....That will take care of the gap....It will fill out nicely and look dayum good too.....

00TAProject is right. I mean I have 17's and not lowered yet, and it still looks smooth. Also if you go with a 17 or 18 then you can still have the baller look. Trust us, we know what we are talking about.

I think those sportmax 962 18x9.5 or the ZR1's would look good on your car. I also think the 96-00 thin spoke WS6 wheels look good on those cars, you good probably get them cheap enough to buy a WS6 hood to, and that would it look good.
If my parents said they would spend that much on my car when I graduated I wouldn't have even thought about wheels. it would have been motor and rearend.
