I just noticed Year One has the billet snowflakes available in 19s and 20s. Did a quick search and found RestoreAMuscleCar got the first ones. What do you guys think of this look? I'd really like to find bigger turbo wheels, but I might reconsider these....

Im really not a big fan of 20's on older cars but the snowflakes look great on that car.if i had another bird id use them.

Too big. 17/18 or even 18/19 combo would look better IMO.

I really like the idea but wish they would have made the wheels have some more dimension to them. They are very flat looking in person. The originals had more shape and curve. It was cheaper to make flat but looks cheap then too.

id go 20's all the way around on that car. it has a tall fender design and it seems that the 20's would fill it out more. However i still like the car as it is.

Way too big, and the sidewall of the rears looks shorter than the sidewall of the fronts. It would look MUCH better with 18s all around, with a taller tire in the rear.

It sounds weird but I can dig the 19s on the front but don't really like the 20s on the rear. 19/19 might look better but I think 18/19 would be perfect.
Yawn old farts kill me lol.It looks good but variety is the spice of life
using that logic, some 30's would be really dope.
I LOVE the design, but I'd probably like 18/19's as well. You wanna fill out a wheel-well more, use more rubber.
30s look good on a schoolbus or a dumptruck:o

19's & 20's will decrease handling, acceleration & braking performance and will decrease ride quality. Something the Pro-Touring is kind of big on. ;)

Yeah, I kind of like the 18/19s approach with more side-wall for better handling and looks...
Not everyone on these boards actually want to tracktheir cars..some jus like to assemble quality parts and have a nice look

The Forgeline TA3P is a way nicer wheel, and as always I have a bargain on said wheels.
19s only though

The forgelines are indeed a FAR better looking wheel. Due to the dimentions of them. The spokes aren't merely flat, they bulge out in the middle.

I'm not a fan of 19+ inch wheels on seconds gens. Dimensionally, it just doesn't work. The stock size disc brakes look funny with the 4 extra inches of clearance.
Secondly (as noted in previous comments) such large wheels will not aid performance.

My biggest "must have" if you run big wheels..... you gotta "tuck" some tire......if you can see the entire tire, then it just doesnt look right to me

THIS.. The sidwall of the rear tire is lower profile than the front.
IIIIICCCCK. So not cool. They need to fix that pronto.

That's a good point. The car in the picture has been lowered, so just throwing on large wheels isn't going give the car that stance.
