Default 18" wheel suggestions
Running Baer brakes all the way around. Having trouble finding the right wheel for a 2nd Gen TA. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great!

This will depend on budget. I have a set of Forgeline wheels on my camaro but I cant afford another set for my nova so I will be getting a set of Vintage Wheel Work wheels. Both are great quality.

the ONLY wheel design for a 2nd gen ta is a mesh style wheel with a gold center. preferably with exposed perimeter bolts.

anything else and we have to burn you at the stake for heresy.

LOL now he's scarred LOL.... Here are some wheels that escalate in cost as you go down the list so you'll have to way options and budget for what works for you...

-Year one does a cheap 17" wheel option (not sure on the Baer's for clearance so you should call Dutch at Baer and discuss the Year One wheel)

-Rushford Wheels,, Jason is a great guy to deal with...

-Forgeline does wheels,, great people just call them and they'll help you..

-Evod will custom carve a set of wheels for you like these of you call
Larry or Shaun over there...

As always great ideas guys- thanks! I forgot to mention it's a '79 Tenth Anniversary TA, NOT tubbed. I wanted a little bit subtle, not wild and crazy, but not classic old school either- maybe something in the middle. I'll check out what was suggested so far...

Thanks for the shout out, Albert but it's RUSHFORTH not "Rushford"

Here's a couple T/As we've done in the last couple years. Take a look at our sites for many more pics and examples www.RushforthWheels.com
