      Newbie from Texas with a 1978 Trans Am

      Hi guy's, my name is Mark. Like others, I found the site while searching for wheel ideas for my 1978 Trans Am. Info on my Trans Am. For right now, the suspension is mostly stock. We saved the car from it's dragracing day's and we are hoping to turn it into a nice street cruiser with great road manners. In other words, we want it to handle some curves. The current engine a .030 over Pontiac 400 that came with the car. It's a fully forged bottom end with a .550 lift solid roller, ported and polished heads, roller rockers, aluminum intake, MSD ignition and after market fuel system. My only planned changes for the engine are to pull the solid roller and go back with a hydraulic roller. Other changes were to pull out the ugly 3000 stall converter and replace it with a nice B&M 2400 stall converter. Then we replaced the race 3" exhaust pipes and 3" Flowmasters with a nice sounding 2.5" system and Magnaflow mufflers. We also swapped out the gears from 3.42's to 3.08's making it much easier to drive on long hauls. Our latest change was to have the car sprayed with SEM Hotrod Black. I plan to install the factory style Trans Am decals over the satin black paint. I think it will look pretty trick. Back to the wheels, everyone tells me to go with the 17" Snowflakes from Year One but I would like to try something different. Maybe something like Fikse's or CCW. Any other 2nd Gen Trans Am owners here please chime in and give me some ideas.

      Thank You
