I have never seen a pic of these on a TA. They are stock wheels, but I think they are kind of neat looking. Can anyone help me out?

I guess if you're into stock wheels they would look alright. By the way, what gen T/A wheels are thoughs ?
EDIT: I guess thoughs are not T/A wheels..what are they anyway..never seen them before.

They are TA wheels. They were offered for only 1 year I believe, maybe 1996 or so. I can't decide if I like them without seeing them on a car!

I believe they are Firehawk wheels. I think they were offered one year only on the LS1 Firehawks. Do a search they are :barf:

AHH well I guess you learn something new every day. I had no idea that was from a 4th gen car. Like I said before, if you like stock wheels go for it. They would deff. be rare and unique. I personally don't like the looks of them. I really thought they were a 3rd gen wheel of some sort since they were aluminum alloy. But to each there own. Good luck in you're decision. :)

They are not firehawk wheels. They were the factory wheels for a 99TA. Once the public saw that they were switching to these GM got enough grief over how terrible they looked to switch back to the 98 style. They were first seen in a MotorTrend article I beleive. There are not too many sets out there.

They are a 17X9.5 wheel offered in 2000 on WS6 cars. The standard wheel was the regular WS6 wheel, and these were an optional wheel that not many people opted for because they are not that great looking. I was them on a car at the T/A nats a couple weeks ago, I actually thought they looked pretty good.
