      Vintage Trans Am

      Does anyone have information on wheel and tire sizes ran on trans am cars that raced
      in the late 60's through the 70's?

      Minilites came along in 69. Previously, they used torq thrusts.

      That is correct.
      Teams used a bunch of magnesium AR 200S wheels too but they kept breaking out the centers.
      That's what pushed Penske to find the strongest wheel possible...the Minilight.

      They are the same wheel. Scott from Team III had the wheels made for him...and I have a set to!

      If you need wheels like the mini lite but 17" or larger, look at NewGen wheels
