I dunno Zolt. I don't like the Boyd Coddingtons and the American Racing look too much like your stock wheels. Although of the 2, I would say the American Racing.

The rebels do look like the stock ws6 wheels but they have a deep dish look to them.

Zoltan, you can't get either... just kidding.
The American Racing I think would look better.

I don't like that bolt look around the edge of the rim. And they look a little busy on the spokes. The more I look at those american racing ones, the more I like them Are there any other you are considering? I really like these:



But I am a bit partial

Boyd's look really nice. The spokes are narrow. If you plan on upgrading to drilled rotor or painting caliper the Boyd's would really show that off.

THose rims are cool if they come with the car (not for purchasing ) . Not to be picky or anything .. but the firhawk wheels don't have enough of a deep dish to them

Yeah ... that is what I'm considering up to now. What do you think of the TTIIs ?

I know you like the deep dish look...I was just giving my opinion.

I do like the TTIIs and while people seem to say "everyone has those" I don't EVER see f-bodies around here with them. I think I like the american racing ones better than the TTIIs. I have never seen those before.

Why not go with a set of iForged Aero's??? Awsome deep dish look on a true face wheel.

I had them in 18's Ill have another set in a couple months.


Heres a pic of mine.

the Boyd's are really nice wheels. I think that I am going to have to get a set of the iForged Aero's pretty soon.

Kyle .. I didn't even think of the aeros because they are too expensive. You said not much more than the BCs ?

I personally would have to go with the boyds or Aeros if you are going to lower your car. They look sick on lowered cars but if you don't plan on lowering get the TT2s in black with a silver lip to them very nice and cool especially if car is not lowered.

I was going to get rebels before, but once I chopped them on my car, everyone hated the way they looked


if you can afford the aeros, than go ahead and get them, but I always thought they were just as expensive as HRE's and Fikse's. Those osirus rims are growing on me

Yeah ... the rebels don't look that good anymore after your pic. I think the problem is that where the spokes end by the lip, they put those extra edges for support when they shouldn't have .
