nice looking ride, plenty of wheels that fit but you often need to put spacers on the rears due to the different offset. I think Corvette wheels look very nice on 3rd gens.

Also the GTA wheels are in high demand so you'll get a few quid when you sell.

What size wheel did you want to go to? You can go all the way up to 20" if you so wish. And did you want a black wheel, or a chrome wheel, or a polished wheel?

The standard GTA wheels really suit the car, I'd personally go with a similar multisoke design but maybe in a black centre/silver rim look in 18" diameter. you'd probably need 2" spacers with these, but like:

People often put the Torque Thrust type on 3rd gen F body cars which IMO looks terrible,.

20" are too big IMO for 3rd gens, 18" look sweet. Just remember you'll need to put spacers on the rears to counter the weird offset.

You can get the right offset, but it's much more limited on choice, I'd stick to 17 or 18" too. If you do use spacers get proper centering ones, not just the Halfords jobbies.
