well that depends on how much money you wanna spend bud. you could never go wrong with a set of TT II's, or you could spend the big bucks and get some CCW's

CCW's or Forged.. But for a cheaper option and with the 17x11 I'd say TTII's

I like the popular ZR1's and TT2's. I think they look best on our cars.

damn those bogarts look sick, do you drive those on the street?

also off topic but how are your calipers so clean? did you polish them?

by the way, image saved new desktop


but as far as wheels, bogart RTs, fikse fm5/fm10, ccw classic

or you can get more show type wheels, iforged, hre, ccw 505, forgeline, etc...

not a fan of TTs but they do have a nice lip

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Cars pretty much a weekend driver. But when I take it out, I drive it hard, so I got the RT RR which is the roadrace version, didn't want to have to worry about folding over a rim if I cornered too hard with it. I also put a Nitto NTO1's on the front which is a road race tire, figured since I was going with a smaller width in the front might as well go sticker to compensate.

As far as the calipers go, I polished them. Now just wipe them off when cleaning the wheels.


Hardly anyone has these wheels, and because of that they get plenty of attention.

Getav8: your car looks amazing, love the wheels, what are the sizes and how much? by the way, go to GM and get the hood grilles.

I thought the bogart RTs were not streetable? Well could have problems on the street for a daily driver....
just one of the reason I feared buying them.

calipers look great by the way
