So I'm been jumping back and forth between two wheel choices for the last while and can't seem to get anywhere so I thought I'd ask the jury. Wheel choice number one is the current wheels on my car (ADR X-factors 19x8.5) which I love the look of, but are just to damn narrow out back and rather large. Seen here:




If I were to keep these rims I'd look into getting the rears widened by those weldcraft folks I've read so much about. Most likely to a 10.5 rear.

Second choice is the ever popular TT2 which is a rim I like very much and in 17'' has lots of drag radial potential, and 11 wide option. Seen here (Ignore stock hood and drop, thats gonna happen either way):




So far I can see that for the ADR's
- More Rare
- Looks good and easier to clean (painted)
- Kind flows with the angles of the formula panels
- Less tire options/$$$$
- Slows car down

And for the TT2
- Easier to get
- Will for sure look good
- 315 dr's...mmmm dr's
- Very common


Cost will be roughly the same either route, and the car is just my weekend/fun car, with some track duty once I get more power.

Thoughts welcome PLEASE

I have TTII's on my TA - but for some reason don't like them on yours (might be cause of the photochop)

Out of the two I'd go for the ADR's and if widened - to 11" in rear.

Good choice on getting rid of the aftermarket vette 'stinger' like hood... I'm a big fan of not using hoods that look like different car hood - like the camaro's that install the aftermarket RamAir TA hood - looks like *** - if you wanted the looks of a TA then you should have bought one...

none of the above.

Get something with a simple 5-spoke and charcoal painted centers.

You know, I had gotten so stuck on these choices the thought of another wheel hadn't even come into my mind. I'll try to research some simple 5 spokes as suggested. Any more input is welcome as always, and I know, its my choice in the end.

I dont like your current wheels... Zr1's!

ya zr1s might look good, i kinda like the charcoal idea too

Laffs

Hmmmm, I do remember seeing a nice black lt1 formula with zr1 that flowed really well, perhaps I need to do some photoshops.

Laffs

Heres a ZR1 chop

roadhog_113

those Zr1's look alright, but I like your car with a bigger lip on the wheels. I don't like the first set of wheels though. Between Zr1 and TT2 for me

Wonder how gunmetal C5 ZO6's would look

My vote goes for the zr1's... they look better than both of the original options you have listed at the top...

Not a fan of 19's on 4th gens. I'd say ZR1's.

I say go ROH Drift R they have a clean 5 spoke a 3 inch lip come in black or magnesium spoke finish and 18 or 19 with up to 10in wide and I've never seen them on a 93-97 bird.

X-Factors are my choice out of the two but the narrow rear's would bother me too. Maybe try a thin spacer on back with some longer studs and try putting on a wider tire. That will get the rim closer to the fender well lip like the TT2s and appear meatier out back. Just a suggestion!
