Default Poll: Need wheels for my NBM SS

I have been spending hours looking at wheels and I've narrowed it down to 3 choices for my NBM 2000 SS Camaro. I'd love to get the Boyd Smoothie II's like I have on my Chevelle, but the price of those went WAY up lately. So here's my 3 choices: Chrome TT2's - 18", C6 Z06 - 18" or go with the 17" Chrome Zr1's. Thanks!

Out of these three I would say TT2's. ZR1's as a plan b. I just can't get into the C6 Z's though, I don't know what it is about them?

tt2's without a doubt, zr1's would be 2nd. i dont really like c6 zo6s all that much, i guess because they have no lip at all, idk.

The TTII's are the only decent ones listed IMO. I would take C5 Z06's over the other 2, or even 10 spokes.

Haha, the SP500's are prolly my fav wheel, but at around 3G's, thats way too much for my budget. I'd rather put that extra 1200 or so towards more HP

man im in the same boat as you!! i really wanted to go with 18 in c5 Z06!! im not feeling the c6 Z06. but the TT2's have been really growing on me. especially seeing pics of 18 in TT2's. im not a fan of the ZR-1!! if your gonna get a plain looking rim like the ZR1 your better off just getting plain c6 rims. but i would love to see more pics of NBM and TT2's!!

tt2's definetly but the only flaw to your plan is tt2's dont come in chrome. only polished aluminum. if you keep up on the cleaning they look sweet...but if your not one who cleans his rims everyday then the only option is chrome dipping them

I felt the same way back in 2002 when I bought my wheels. (TT2s) I didn't feel any other rim at the time was really doing the car justice. I actually didn't even love those but hated the snowflakes it came with. Now I have the TT2s. I like the ZR1s but are sort of plain. The SS 10 spoke with 10.5 on the rear look good too. HREs are pretty cool looking but expensive...For this poll.... NBM I'd say either Chrome ZR1s or the TT2s.

I could be wrong but I have heard that they do come in chrome but,it's a special order from American Racing and not the whole wheel is chromed.I think the main part of the wheel is chromed (the center) and the lips are left polished.
