Default Polished vs. Anthricate

I know this question has probably been asked 1000 times.

I was all set to order my polished tt2's from tomzwheels yesterday, turns out they're on back order.

I was torn between the tt2s and the anthricate ttm's. I like the pictures I've seen of the ttm's on nbm, but never having seen them in person I'm a little leary..

Any opinions?!

I think the ttms would look badass on your car. Im sorry but i kinda like the flat lip on the ttms better than the 2 lips design of tt2s and the pain in the butt cleaning of polished rims. But everyone has there own opinions i would get chrome ttms but that is just my opinion.

I think Anthracite looks great with NBM, I'd go with those. Less upkeep too, you won't be constantly polishing them.

Anthracite ftw. I ordered them for my SS. Polishing does suck ***. I had TTMs on my SOM WS6 and it was a pain. Not as much as the 10 spokes not but still.

Yeah, Those powdercoated tt2's look awesome. After the cost of the wheels plus the powdercoating the cost over double the ttm's, so that's the only reason I have a hard time justifying doing that.


Here's someone's car from on here with the ttm. I think it looks pretty damn good. Like I said, I just wish I could see these wheels in person before buying them.
