Get something unique...like your Hawk. CCW, Fikse, Aero, etc....would look pretty sweet on a black Hawk.

out of those choices TT2s would look the best by far.... but i still think the stock firehawk wheels look better. If you want to step up to a custom wheel like CCWs of Fikse be prepared to spend 4k+ for wheels&tires... by far the best looking options but will ding ur wallet up good. Check with tomzwheels for some budget deals on TT2s and etc.

I will trade you a set of 4 17" Z06 motorsports wheels... black with machined lip... plus some cash.

I love firehawk wheels.

None of those. Replica and Torque Thrust wheels are played out. Get some used CCW's or something, you can get some nice Boyd's (Boyd Rebels look great in 18's are are under $2k) for a good price.

If you MUST get one of those, then definitely TT2's, but they only make them in polished.

I have to go with the CCW look. If you don't want to spend the cash on a new set and you can't find a used set, the LG Motorsports World Challenge wheel looks just like a CCW.

Please don't get any of those wheels. Save some more money if you haven't already and get a nice set like CCW etc....

I like the CCW wheels, but i am about to spend a lot putting a 9" in and putting my new motor in. I guess ill just keep the hawks on until i can get up the money again.

I am in the same boat as you... My Hawk wheels aren't perfect and I want a set of nice wheels to be on the car. They look ok from afar, but when you get up close you can see the chrome pitting in the corners and stuff.

You should definitely get a set of new wheels so i can see what they would look like on my car since we both have black Hawks
