GTA rims - dimple/non-dimple

[channer]

Hi

What is the diff between dimple & non-dimple GTA rims? I have 2 sets of GTA fronts... I was told one set was one piece & other set was two piece rim.

Anybody have pics of the differences?

Non dimpled is two piece but the newer dimpled wheels were supposedly stronger throughout the center section.

i've got two sets of GTA wheels- one set dimpled, the other not.
other than the dimples, i can't see any differences between the two styles.

If you look on the back side, you can see where the non dimpled web disk is welded to the rim.

RE: GTA Wheels

Which one came out first ?

 

[toofastforyou]

"gnxjames548", the earlier ones ('86-'88) are non-dimpled and later ones ('89-up) are dimpled...
