Need opinions on wheels
Do you guys think these wheels would look good on my WS6? They are 18x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the back.
Feel free to suggest other wheels that might look good. I am getting tired of my stock wheels. I want something bigger than the stock 17s they look too small to me.Last edited by 98TransAmWs-6; 01-02-2011 at 07:32 PM.

255 might look stretched over a 8.5? I have 275's on my 8.5 up front and they look just perfectly squared over the wheel, don't bulge at all.
And I like the wheelsLast edited by silverWS6; 01-03-2011 at 09:48 AM.

245/40/18 and 285/30/19 would likely be the best bet assuming you want to keep your ABS happy.
And IMHO I would stay away from Vette wheels altogether.

All Black- 83, 87, 02 All WS6 T/As
I kinda agree with 9T8W66.. I had wanted to go with Vette rims when I bought my car.. ordered them.. but at the time they were 6 months back ordered... ran across my current rims and am EXTREMELY glad I went with them... never saw another Trans Am with them.. they were cheaper and if you look around.. there are T/As with vette rims everywhere you look.
It is all personal preference... and you are the one paying for and looking at these every day... so make yourself happy. I personally love the look of black rims with a silver lip on a black car.. its sleek but the silver breaks up the full black look... but with your brown stripes, that might not work real well.
Play around with photshop.. try some things out... do google searches for rims and see what you like.
Good luck.-Geno

Will wheels with a bolt pattern of 5x120mm fit I know f-bodys have a 5x120.67mm but does that .67 make a difference?
