Aftermarket wheel choices for white T

[87 Pete]

I'm thinking about getting some rims for my white T (no blackout), and would like to do something a little different. I'd like to go no larger than 16" rims.

Are there any websites that you can see rims on your car besides the tirerack and centerline's website?

Does anyone have any suggestions besides drag racing type rims?

Thanks.

I know you said no black out ,but the GNX style rims look bad @ss on a white TR

I 2nd the GNX rim suggestion.

BUT you could always drive the car to a rim retailer.

We have a TOWN Fair tire locally that sells alltypes of rims.

I have seen the sales people take rims out to the car & place them next to the car & walk back away a distance with car owner to give the effect that they are mounted. That way you can see how they look...

I used to have 17 x 9 Centerline billets on my GN. Looked great but ride did suffer a little.

24" gold wires look SWEET on white TR's. It's pretty easy to lift the suspension to clear too. Add light blue window tint and interior and you'll have one of the baddest TRs in Compton.

Buddyman drives a white T, he has prostars on it. It's the big and little look, looks good!

Where can one get a set of those black GNX replica rims?

Thanks,

Chrome the stockers.

Or GNX.

But the Chrome T (or hot air GN of course) would be my 1st choice. You could get a set of beat up wheels for next to nothing and get them dipped.

charcoal or silver simmons

or Kenesis wheels

Check out these Bogart wheels. My set is for the race car but thinking about another set for my original T-type.

IROC wheels look great. I just painted my wifes 87 white and installed a set of IROC wheels. 16 X 8 and cheap to buy. I run them on my Red TType.

I'd like to see a few more options as I am the proud new owner of a white Turbo Regal Limited. What else looks good on a white car with chrome? Thanks guys.

borgarts are great racing wheels ....they are very light ...

however they are not recommemed for street use, just imagine what would happen if you hit a big enough pot hole!

Black GNXs look killer

here dude, look at this site! You can see the wheels ON your car before you buy em! The site is awesome. Make sure that you choose the right car color on the left side, but I think I already made it white for you.

Yes, I know that these are 17's, but I still think they are one of the best looking wheels for our cars.

i like those reeeums-

[Gary Wells]

I fifth, sixth, and/or seventh the gnx / gnx replica rim suggestion.
I am in the same boat, and I am keeping mine stock until i can find some.
