I think those were available in 15" in the earlier days of the 3rd gen too.

Looks alright to me :)

Those look nice but not better than the stock GTA wheels.

I prefer the stock rims as well. I feel they are a big part of what defines a GTA, and are hard to beat.

well I like em. and if you have the stock rims then using these will keep the originals nice

I was actually looking at the 17" YearOne gold snowflakes. And yes, the purpose would be both to set her apart AND to save the originals. The originals have peeling clear and one small gouge, but they're close to perfect. This would serve both purposes.

One smart lady:) My rims are perfect and I wanna keep em that way.. in the market for black gta rims and tires or original 83-91's TA rims and tires

[mr.turbota]

I don't think they are too bad.
The second gen snowflakes, and the third gen Diamond Spoke, as well as the 5 spoke fourth gen wheels are by far, the best wheels Pontiac produced for each generation of Birds.
I don't see anything wrong with them.
Yes, they are not stock, but do look good, and you can always swap back and forth, besides placing them onto the second gen you may someday get. ;)

I don't like them. The cross laces look much better. On these cars you need a wheel with a lot of dish to look right. I really like the cross laces because from the front when all you can see is that massive amount of sexy aluminum dish they have, it gives that bad ass muscle car look. But when you look from the side they look refined and sophisticated. It really sucks because all the wheels I think would look good on the car with tons of dish, 5 spokes, chrome are $2,000+ a set... When I have money to play with again I am buying 4 new reproduction diamond spoke crosslace wheels all in the 0 front offset. But with 255s on the back instead of 245s. Im going to lower it about in inch or so too so I think its going to look amazing!

I had em on a 86 TA all black and the turbos made it look very mean. Nice offsets on them I remember ordering the car from the factory (Dad was a GM employee) so I remember a lot about it like the name "deep dish turbo" wheels and I had the UT4 stereo (rare for an 86). I had all the tape removed above the areo skirts and blacked out the windows. also had twin exhaust pipes on each side made specifically for our cars called "hot pipes"...still trying to find those....

I am looking for nice wheels/tires... trying to keep my originals mounted and stored. (maybe I will dismount them, but they are original tires so...:))

Those things are all over the place. You can get them for around $400/set from wheelcollision.com without the tires. I don't particularly care for the "salad shooter" look. If I don't keep the GTA wheels on, I'll change to the snowflakes. EVERYONE does the five-spoke chrome. The idea here was to be unique.

Thanks for everyone's input.

cant seem to find the turbos on craigslist with tires:(( in nice shape. Now I am working on getting the ones from the formulas

[mr.turbota]

Not many people sell their wheels with tires.
Pretty much just shops.

I know. I am getting those shiny formula wheels with tires for 450.. but i am fairly sure, if i am patient, I can get better for cheaper

[welshGTA]
