Default Do i sell my Budnik wheels and buy TT2's??

Ive been thinking about going with some TT2's - that have a gray center 5spoke, with polished lip... Does anyone have some pictures of pewter camaro's with tt2's on them? Also- What kind of money can i get out of my hammers?? Have 5g into setup,wheels and tires.. No crub rash, nice.. and will polish barrels.. What do you think i should do?

Those are a very nice set of wheels and better quality. I think you'd be nuts to sell those. If anything you could always get those centers re-done in gunmetal centers, but I think they are just fine. I would take those any day of the week over my old TT2's or Z06's.

If you do decide to sell them let me know. I was going to get those about 2yrs back.

Keep 'em dude! I wanted budniks so bad (the m5's), and deep-dished like yours. I just couldn't afford all of that. And to add to this since it's relevant to your thread, I had TT2's. Awesome wheels, but after having 2 sets I wanted something new.

I would definitely say your car looks good the way it is. You can't go wrong with TT2's but when you have nice wheels already, why bother?

If you go with TT2s you might have to change your brakes again because of clearance issues. Plus as mentioned the quality difference will be huge. One of my old TT2s was bent straight from the factory with no damage to the box at all or marks of any kind on the wheel.

I would be going with a 17 or 18inch wheel.. Prior owner had a set of 5spoke zr1 wheels on the car that were 17x9.5's and they fit. I would hate to have to change all the brake setup over..

Stick with the Budniks!!! Those look really good on your car! It makes it look different from every other SS!

Your car has a Procharger on it doesn't it?
