Info on GTA wheels

[Nascar83Fan]

There's a listing on ebay with pics of a factory GTA front rim that come with original labeled boxes from GM. Not sure if it'll help you compare against the one pic of the ones shown by jegs website and on their listing on ebay or not. Hope that helps you in some way.

What is all this talk about dimples? Why are they dimpled? Where are they dimpled? Anyone have pictures of the difference?

I'm assuming the dimples you are referring to are where the spokes meet the rim?

 

[1KWIKSIX]

Yup, the dimples are st the end of the spokes where they meet the rim.

Passing on that I received confirmation from Classic Industries that they will be having the black GTA front zero offset wheels in stock next month. Finally after waiting two years for my order to ship lol.

Hi Turbo Slacker,

Did they make you prepay in advance?

So are we ever going to get a 17x8 zero offset GTA wheel made by hawks or classic industries?

 

[cruzn57]

have NOT heard anything about correct offset 17's

Hi Turbo Slacker,

I placed the order long time ago, but they never charged my credit card. They will do that when they ship them to me.

I doubt it. Too small of demand. Even 17" is small these days with limited tire choices.

Better selection than 4-5 tires for 16x8's.

 

[TurboSlacker]

True but still limited from 18+

Here is some on Hawks Third Gen. 17"x9" My current setup is 16"x8"s all around. Here is my question. Would it work and look good if I ordered the set and went with 275 tire or 285 tire two with street tires and two with drag tires? Would that staggered setup look ok? 16s up front and 17s out back?

I agree the OER wheels look great I bought two of them and had drag radials mounted on them. I have two old front wheels but will purchase another two zero offset. love the way they look on the car changed it completely.

 

[79transam]

where did you end up ordering them.? I got mine from jegs they were running a special free shipping. and they shipped pretty quick.

 

[frayles]

I bought mine through Classic Industries two weeks ago. I had a 25% off coupon and paid 676 and change shipped for a set of 4.

 

[79transam]
