Smoothie II 's compared to TT 2's What do you all like better? I will have to use these all year round. I have no garage so I do on occasion get salt , snow , dirt on them . How hard is it to keep them clean ? Will 17X9.5 fit with no problems? What size tires will I need to avoid any rubbing? Sorry for all the questions at once but I need to make a decision within a few days. Are there any similar rims in chrome finish that you all would recommend?

I love my Smoothie II's. I clean them with Meguiar's Hot Rims (pink bottle) and polsih with Mothers Billet. Just need to make sure you soak up all the water behind the inner lip after you wash it, which is not hard.

Yes they should fit just fine. I have 17x11s and mine rubbed but I hear that if I had Nitto DRs instead of BFGs then I wouldn't have rubbed at all.
What size tires do you plan to run on the 17x10s? If 315s then you might rub but its real easy to fix.

I just purchased a set of Smoothie II's and am absolutely happy with my selection. My buddy has TT2's and is now jealous! 
Compared side by side, the fat lip and dish of the smoothieII is incomparable...
Get em'...you wont be disappointed!

I have Smoothie IIs on my car and love them. Easy to clean. Just like LSUxBlake said make sure you soak up the waterbehind the inner lip. Also on mine the valve stem is in back of the wheel for a much cleaner look(no problem filling air at all) So as you can tell my vote is for Smoothie IIs

The wheels will also fit with no rubbing issues...FYI, I have Nitto 555 275/40 fronts and Nitto 555R 315/35 rears and have no rubbing issues...my rears sit almost flush with the back quater panel...very nice look IMO...

I was torn between both but went with the gunmetal smoothies in a 17x8 and 17x10 combo. Honestly I would go with the 285/40/17 instead of the 275's. Heres a few pics of mine.
