      I like the Lites. As for minilites in general on a 2nd-gen. Check out HOT ROD magazine's (I know, it's not a 'bird) Camaro project.

      Thanks for the input so far, it is helping. Still have a couple weeks before I'll make my decision so keep it coming!

      The reason is no one is ballsy enough to try and pull it off, Step outside the box and run the lites

      The reason is, and I don't mean any offense to NewGen, that they look like 3 piece versions of JDM wheels. I don't think I've ever seen a muscle car with them that looks "right".

      My 2nd gen w/ BOZE wheels. Not one of the 3 choices you listed, but similar style, and I know you needed another choice to consider, right ?



      Also, don't know if this will help, but here's a couple of 2nd gen's w/ mini lites from the early Trans Am days. hard to find any with large diameter mini's.

      JDM wheels, really? Don't think you could be more wrong. To each their own.

      Mr Vengeance is Correct!!! But damn they would look good. I think the lites have great potential too in black

      Really? Every time I look at them I instantly think of Rota RB's. It's like every import owner has this set of wheels at one time or another.

      If you're going with black, then I'd go with the Anarchy

      Lites wouldn't look right at all in black... they'd look killer in flat white or gray/brushed to go with their vintage throwback style, but black doesn't work on them IMHO.

      PT10s I like, but again, not in all-black... needs a polished or brushed lip to work.

      Anarchy to me fits a 2nd gen 'bird because of their resemblance to snowflakes... they would look terrible on anything other than a 'bird though.

      I think the NewGen look like the old school mini lights wheels used on the trans am race cars in 69 to the end of the trans am racing series. I love the NewGen wheels and im thinking about getting a set for the 67 mustang.


      also looks like the JDM watanabe wheels but some JDM wheels look sweet on PT cars

      (JDM SSR).........(NewGen needs a wheel like the SSR or Works)

      I would get the NewGen wheels.
