Snow flakes?
I was looking at getting retro Wheels for my car when I go to car shows seems odd and no one I've seen has done this so I wanna be different! thinking of powder coating black with red pinstripe. anyone know if fitment would be an issue and if there is an aftermarket wheel company that makes them?

that's a good looking wheel....definitely a better option than just throwing TT2's on there like everyone else.

Then you'd bitch about how everyone has them.

It really to me IMHO is a signature item for Trans Ams. You can't put these on any other car and have them look good.

I had to really look for a Fiero with snowflakes to picture one. I rest my case, Firebirds & Trans Ams should only be allowed to have Snowflakes.
