Wheel Help
« on: June 15, 2007, 08:59:28 AM »
Hey guys and girls, I'm from a 8 year history of working with LT1's and LS1's wheels, so that concept is pretty basic for me, but I'm working on the 78' Now and the 95' is up for sale now.

I want to stick with snowflake design, but I'm wondering if there were ever any 17" wheels made or a custom shop that I could have produce a snowflake style replicae in a 17" size.   

I saw a restored car in an online magazine that had custom gold snowflake 18"s, but I can't seem to find that article anywhere now.

95 Z28 - 350 ci

Year One sells the custom billet aluminum 17" snowflakes that are on the new bandit trans am. I don't know how to post a link but click on the Burt Reynolds Ta and you'll find them from there. It'll be on the lower left hand corner on the page that talks about the cost and stages of the ta. Now I need to learn how to post a link.

They have a few different satyle in both Honeycomb and the snowflake design starting with a 17x8 and going all the way up to a 18x12.
