I don't have pics, but when I worked in a car audio shop years ago, a guy with a red thirdgen Camaro with black Crosslace wheels would stop in from time to time, and I absolutely loved how it looked. Those wheels were the perfect compliment to the car.

My car, a buddies wheel and tires. I'm not sure if these were his black set or charcoal gray set. (He also has a gold set, they all look good on his white B4C.) I have 2 gold (rear) rims and one black (rear) rim... still looking for a cheap front pair.

I'm perfectly happy with my stock wheels until I can move up in size.

Not a Camaro but it gives you an idea about the rims. I wouldn't have it any other way, black GTA rims look sexy!

Do you think you could send me some more pictures of your rims, I am thinking of spraying mine black, like yours but I'm not sure if I'll like it or not. I have a white 91 RS

Re: Black GTA rims on a red camaro

black rims will look great...just don't use the wrong ones...(GTA) they don't belong on a Camaro

Yes, resurrected just in time

I think I've decided to buy a set of the black gta wheels from hawks for my red Z. I've been thinking about it for a year or so now and they're not getting any cheaper, lol.

Anyone else have a few pics to share? I'll post mine once I get them on.

Re: Black GTA rims on a red camaro

Hawk's called me today and said these wheels were backordered until December. Darn, I already bought some nice tires for them too.

Call Denny at Thirdgen Ranch. I think he has some set even with polished lips and such.

Re: Black GTA rims on a red camaro

Here is my 1991 Formula with the 1991-92 Black Trans Am wheels. They were a no cost option and only offered for 2 years. I also installed the chrome center cpas and the chrome lug not covers.

This is what my 92 came with. Not sure I dont like the traditional Formula wheels better, but these look great. Might change my mind if I can get mine refurbished like that.
