You might be able to find a used set of Torque Thrusts or copies. They were pretty much the Trans Am series standard. Run em without the caps.

ya but even the knock offs are more then my price range:

Just find some steel olds rallies and run some wide tires, I actually have a set of non chrome olds rallyes, 15x7 and would even be willing to put new tires on it at my cost for fairly cheap(I work at a tire shop), but you wold have to come to florida to pick them up.

i wish but the trip there would cost me as much as new rims and tire lol. i might try to get my snowflakes to work since they are 15x7 and i could also sell my 14" rallys and turbine rims. umm do you guys think the snowflakes will give me a road race look?

I vote #4 or #2, I don't like the white ones at all. It all depends on how your paint will look. Brushed/polished aluminum will look nice with any color. Black wheels don't go well with a light color (like yellow) IMO

White = cheap boat trailer and you will regret it. Buy the 2 15x7 Olds ralleys put them with two common 14x6 Olds ralleys for the front. Shipping will be about $20 per rim UPS. He will probably sell you the rims cheap. Paint all four to match your car. She will look good for cheap and you can run some good size tires. ie run a 225/70/14 26.5" tall up front with a 255/60/15 27.0" in the rear. Nice road race stance & look. Hmmm maybe I can add some pic of a flat black Cutlass pics to my album where I did this. I will see if I can find them.
