Its a hard choice when you own a Firehawk.The Firehawk rims look good on the cars.I ordered my Budniks 2 weeks ago.I figured my Firehawk wheels will be stored in the garage anyway.....so I say change em! Just keep the Firehawk wheels.

IMO, I'd keep the firehawk wheels. You see the TT2's on a lot of F-bodies. But not the firehawk wheels. Don't get me wrong, the TT2's are a very nice wheel. And if you'd like to up the rear tire size...I just put a new set of Nitto 555r Drag Radials on my 9" wheels and they look great. I thought they were going to bow out a lot because I put them on after having Sumitomo 315's, which bowed out quite a bit, but the Nittos aren't as wide as the sumitomos. Wait a second... ...sorry, I'd keep the wheels you have.

Yeah I want a wider rear rim. I can buy the TTII's or I can have the rear Firehawks widened for $200 each. I'm leaning towards the Firehawks (I think they're pimpish ) but wanted to know what everyone else thought.

Thats not a bad price for widening wheels. Where were you thinking of getting them done?

There's a place in Dallas and a place in Ohio. The quote was from the Dallas place. If somebody REALLY needs the name they cam pm me and I'll look it up for them. I can't list it here because they're not a sponsor.

Torque Thrust II's are really ugly IMO. I have never liked them so I picked Hawk wheels. I tend to go for a thin Five spoke on Birds.

Maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I think a Firehawk should have Firehawk rims. And the chrome ones you got look better than the TTIIs anyway. Widen those suckers!!!

I saw some the other day on a lowered black WS6 with charcoal stripes. Holy crap it was nice. He got rid of the molding and he said the rims were 17x10 all around.
