Default Smoothie 2s and Junk Yard Dogs

To those who have seen these wheels. whats the difference between them? To me they look identical other than the center caps. Is there any other difference? Spokes the same? And which to u think looks most like the TT2?

I'm getting ready to get me a set of Junk Yard Dogs. The difference is that the spokes on the Junk Yard Dogs are triangular but look more deep dish to me than the Smoothie 2's because the spokes are straight from the outer rim to the center cap; whereas the Smoothie 2 spokes arch out toward the outer part of the rim. I personally think that the TT2's look more like the Smoothie 2's because of the roundness of the spokes.

is it just me, or are you trying to find a boyd wheel that looks exactly like a tt2, but why not get tt2's?

Haha, not exactly like them Everyone has the TT2 so i want to be different. I like the classic TT2 design but wouldn't mind the little different variation of it. I love the deep dish of the Smoothie, does the JYD have the same?

Found out the difference- take a look
The Smoothies look like a deeper dish.

Camaro has the JYDs. Chevelle has the Smoothie 2's

Yup, thats what i noticed too. Now just gotta decide what i like better. Leaning more towards the Smoothie's now. They look badass on that red Chevelle.

can you post some pics? It looks like the Smoothies have a deep dish look to them that I like. Does the JYD have the same appearance?

Maybe I'll order one rim of each and send back the one i don't want. May cost me $30 to ship back, but atleast I'd be sure. Why is this so tough??
