Default Wheels and Trans Am's

Lately, Ive been throwing around the idea of new wheels for the TA. But what I keep on running into is the same old TT's and the c5/c6 wheels. Im just getting sick of the same old choices. For some reason, Camaros can pull off so many more wheels.

So what Im getting at is the question of, will there be any new styles or are there any good looking wheels that are on the market that arent as common or seen. I thought I heard a roomer back a bit about HRE knock offs or a company or someone that was going to come out with look alikes. I just want a sweet set of rims and want something different.

Anyone else feel the same way or have some suggestions???

I completely agree with you, I am so tired of the usual cookie cutter wheels that everyone has. Thats why I looked for something different when I was buying 2 yrs ago. Check these out their almost a clone of HP Evo's made by the same company As My wheels are.

If your interested I'll send you a PM on where I got the wheels since they are NOT a Sponsor on here.

Let me Know

CCW makes them. *Complete Custom Wheel* You can get them as wide as you want pretty much. Can only buy directly from them. I think the ones you're talking about are ~2600 for a set. http://www.ccwheel.com/files/home.php

Well I know what I want. That was easier than i thought. I still want to look around though, but man I love those CCW's. I just wish they were as much money. I would rather throw that money in performance.

I had the same problem as you are experiencing a couple months ago. I then realized that the more expensive options are the only ones I would be happy with. I now have some fikse fm10's for my car. I love them.

I think just about any "mesh" style wheels looks killer on the T/A's...(FM10, Evo, etc...)

I have those wheels max wheels. They are pretty decent wheels and aren't pricey. My dream wheels are still Fikse FM/10's or CCW SP20A's.

Here's a pic for you. As far as I know I'm the only one I've seen with these paticular wheels on here.



My god I need to lower my car.lol

It all depends on how much money you want to spend . . . . if you want to spend less than 1k I would get hp evos.
