I can't seem to find any factory alloys (they are a 16" X-spoke design on the GTA) but I have a set of Camaro factory alloys which I am going to put on it for now. Those chrome jobs weigh about 15 cwt each.

Funny thing is I rate it a lot more as a car now I've driven a 1st gen one. (the '69 SS Clone) If I get time today I have some poly drop links for the rear anti roll bar to go on and a couple other bits. Sitting in them stationary the older car is cooler, but on the road the 3rd gen really shows what 20 years difference made on a muscle car.

Saw the pics now, great look (I would have kept the wraparound rear spoiler for it) :thumbright:

If anyone has (or knows of) a rear spoiler let me know. I'd like to refit it but one did not come with the car.

I have a 85 T/a black like this, had it a long time, the rear spoiler gradually went , could not get it painted so I took it off, you can get glass repro from the states but with the shipping works out a lot.

These are great cars!
