I bought a set of the Year One Honeycomb Wheels for my 75 Trans Am a few years ago. I haven’t run them yet. I think they look a little bogus looking due to the slick silver finish. I ordered a few cans of Honeycomb Wheel paint to paint them with to make them more authentic. Has anybody ever done this? I also like the white letters that you can glue to the tires. I think it will make a sharp wheel and tire package. What are your thoughts on this?

I have a set and the finish has held up very well over the past 10 years. It would be hard for me to paint over it, especially with a spray can.

I think I understand the finish you are going for- I’m not sure you will get it since these wheels are so smooth. I would start out on the back to see how it looks.

I'm on the fence about the 17s...never thought about the finish

Anything will be an upgrade from these torque thrusts...

I have a set, like the look and the price, never minded that the center section is too shiny. Finding tall enough rubber in 17 “ rim size is a little scarce, almost need 18” rims for better tire selection.

What rubbers did u eventually go with nasty - are there pics somewhere here?

I have 255/45/17 front and 285/40/17 rear but they are shorter than I would like. Car is not finished and sitting a bit high as not all the parts are in it.

But I still know I need taller rubber as the headers are going to scrape over everything once the car is at ride height. I’m going to switch to 255/50/17 front and 275/50/17 rear.

oh ok....ya my headers scrape like a b even with the 15s...

Let us know how you make out with that...could be awhile before I can afford the 17s and I need a complete exhaust this year

Thanks
