I'd P/T it. I love the Year One Bandit and am looking for a '77 T-top car now.

Keep 15s or buy 18s???? I think it answers itself. Fire up the credit card ASAP! Even though you've seen the wheels on other T/As, it will blow your mind when you bolt them on your own. Can't wait to see the results!

This is just a thought, and I dunno how everyone else would feel about it, but what about a set of 18 inch turbo wheels, like these:



If you had them refinished in that bronze/gold color I think it would look super cool... and maybe minitub your car too

http://www.german-wheels.com/produkt...sd=true&page=2


It's a german company, so the site may be hard to navigate... I DO know that "felgen" means wheel or rims or something though.

The snowflakes would look great no doubt but there are a lot of late 2d gen ponchos starting to use them. I would stay with the multi-spoke design but I would lean towards the Boze pro-touring wheels in 18" just to be a bit different.
I'm not one to talk though as I went with Coy c5s on my 81Z because I like the looks of TT CL205s which look very similar.

Either way the snowflake/pro-touring/mesh type wheels look bitchen on firebirds and T/As.
