[Forgeline Wheels]

Is it possible to overstate the amazing improvement that a modern pro-touring transformation makes to the ride and handling of a classic muscle car? Bob Thomson’s 1969 Pontiac Trans Am is powered by a 650HP Schwartz Performance-prepped Chevrolet Performance 427ci LS7 mated to a Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed transmission and rides on a Schwartz G-Machine chassis, RideTech coilovers, Baer brakes, 255/40ZR18 & 335/30ZR18 BFGoodrich KDW-2 tires, and 18x9/18x12 Forgeline GW3 wheels finished with Hyper Silver centers & Polished outers!

Wow! Those wheels look really cool.

I ain't gonna lie, I'm not a fan of the protouring huge wheel look.

I will say that those wheels look awesome. I have a '69 Firebird convertible project and I was dreading going with small brakes to avoid the huge wheels. Those Forgelines look perfect on that '69.

I have just been converted. The car looks spectacular!

I wonder how that car would look in a ragtop painted Verdoro Green(I may be the first person in history to do a color change TO Verdoro Green)?
