gold lace rims on a blue 91 TA?

does anyone have any pics of a set of gold gta rims on a blue trans am? i have a '91 but any year in blue with gold gta's would help. i have black gta rims on the car now & was thinking of having them redone in gold? i also was toying with the idea of getting a new set of decals in gold as well? Btw the car has tan interior.

thanks

Re: gold lace rims on a blue 91 TA?

I was always a fan of the black rims on the blue T/As. I was gonna replace my salad shooters on my blue 91 with black rims like yours, but wound up getting rid of the car.

In any case, the gold doesn't look bad either. It's all in each person opinion though.

2nd gen style snowflakes are being made in the bigger sizes but 3rd gen crosslaces are only being made in the 16 x 8 size.

I love those rims but I also love the thirdgen crosslace. I am for the black though rather than the gold. JMO

Re: gold lace rims on a blue 91 TA?

yea idk i like those snowflakes i just need to know what the back spacing is on the GTA rims to see if the snowflakes fit? i no their zero in the front & 16mm in the rear i just need to know the inches to compare with the others.

Re: gold lace rims on a blue 91 TA?

I say go for the gold since you have tan interior but,,,,,,,I say stick with the original GTA crosslace wheels and leave the 2nd gen wheels to the 2nd gens. Just my thought.

The zero offset will give you 4.75" backspacing, which will fit on all 4 corners AND make the rears look better.

I was running 4 front wheels on my GTA, until I switched to the 17" Snypers.

Re: gold lace rims on a blue 91 TA?

I THINK THE GOLD LOOKS BETTER ON A BLU BIRD
as well as the black bird and the green ones too

i think black wheels look best on yellow red

white is the only one imo that can go both ways just as good

Re: gold lace rims on a blue 91 TA?

I am not entirely sure, but i think you could have ordered a Blue car with the Gold rims... i think it looks killer... I thought I had seen one equipped that way... but my memory may be wrong.

Re: gold lace rims on a blue 91 TA?

I think the gold makes it look older. if you are going for a more modern look i would go with the black.
