Default 6T9 Trans Am Wheels

I dont know if you guys have seen these, but they are a retro design wheel that is based off of the Rally 2.



So I contacted the guys at Trans Am Depot

They only have 20x10 and 20x11s, but they contacted their manufacturer about possible pricing for some 17x8 and 17x9.5s for my Firebird.

They said they would do it for 7,500 bucks

wow.

Those are pretty nice wheels! But I dont think they are worth the asking price lol.
Sure would look nice on my Bird! Only if I had more money then I knew what to do with.

Yea I know right, haha

Well they said that was the cost for set up and tooling, so maybe if we got a group together who wanted to purchase them the price would go down, BUT I dont know if enough to make it reasonable.

You can buy these in 17X9 for $199 each. Seems a little more economical. And they look better too!

cant run 17x9s up front on a Firebird. Plus I think the retro styled ones look better IMO

Unless they're going on a "retro built 69 TA" I don't like Em. But then again i'm a die hard stocker chick, my 69 TA tribute car WON;T be getting retro wheels.
