Default Cant decide which wheel to go with

Looking at either going with some TTII's or Weld Prostars. My car is my only vehicle and I've heard that Prostars can get bent driving them on the street everyday. I like the look of both but I'm not wanting to sacrifice my safety or my ride, just for a good look. Any ideas???

That is easy...if the car is youir ONLY driver and you drive more than 5 miles to work each day I would definately go with the TT 2s. Get the Pro Stars later to go to shows and what not.

Just my .02

Ive never heard of that problem with Prostars, but I have heard of it with Bogarts (not knocking their wheels by anymeans, but IIRC they do state they're ment as a "race wheel" not a "street wheel").

I'd go with the Prostars vs the TTIIs. I just like that look better

My buddy has bent 3 sets of TT II's daily driving. They never had curb rash or anything just normal potholes and such of city driving. However he could still get them to balance fine though.

I run prostars. It is nowhere near considered my daily driver though. But nevertheless I have driven on some small road trips 150+ miles each way on them. If you like the looks of the TTII's and want to run slicks and skinnies for example. American racing does sell them in different sizes that WILL allow you to run slicks and skinnies.
