I'm still kicking the idea of picking up a set of 17" Minilite Replicas to really bring the trans am look into the modern era. I wish I could run the magnetic numbers full time, but they fall off at speeds over 100mph.
Agreed, the minilites would really set off the car with a vintage feel. I've got over 3K miles this year on the 'bird and the TKO is awesome, you'll love it. I have the same basic Wilwood set-up as well, did a brake check on the way to lunch with a buddy with a 911 Turbo and he was floored. I too kinda wish I went with less 'bling' on the wheels...so I'm thinking this winter it'll get something more race oriented...I've had about as much fun as I can have legally on the street. Time to turn this thing into a tracker. Yeah, I've got alot sunk into it, but not nearly as much as others, and it's only fun when I'm driving it....not staring at it...that wore off months ago. LOL!
