Which wheels should I buy? I wanted to get Anthracite TTM but they will be out of stock until May. I could wait for those.
Otherwise, it's between chrome TTM and TTIIs.
Heres a pic of my car as it sits.
Thanks for the feedback guys. And if anyone has any other ideas for wheels about 1000-1200 with tires let me know.

I'd go with the TTIIs. You definitely need to get rid of the rims on your car, it's taking a lot of appearance away from your car. But hey, I'm a flashy kind of guy, I like stuff that shines

If anyone has Chrome TTM on pewter pics please post them up!

Man, I am fighting with the same thing right now. TTM's or TTII and I just think the chrome TTM looks cheap.. IMO. Now the Torq 2's...those look awesome, just something about a polished wheel and the better IMO profile of the TT2's.
I have finally decided to get the polished for my silver car and I think the will look better on pewter also. I also have a pewter 2000 camaro and have had chrome on it and did not like it.
If you can't wait for anthracite (even if you could) I would still get the TT2's
I will look great!

Still undecided at the moment. I figured it would be an all TT2 response here.
But it got me to thinking what should I paint the calipers? They are black but need to be redone anyways.

I like the current too they look better in person than pics but they do gotta go.

if standing out from the crowd has any appeal to you at all, you could always go with some of Centerline's custom wheels.
they're not a sponsor, so i'm not going to link to their specific pricing info, but here's a few pics of ones that i think would look good on an f-body, and should be in the neighborhood of your price range (maybe a wee bit more) in a 17"x9.5" on all 4 corners. if you do choose any of these in a 9.5" width (which can safely fit up to a 285-width tire), you'll want to stick with a 7" backspace, which (from what Centerline told me) equates to a +41mm offset.
i'm getting the ones on the far left (they're the Sundance Daggers), so you can't get those....i've got to stay completely unique (just kidding btw, but i've not yet seen ANYONE else with the Daggers on a 4th-gen f-body):

Wait for the anthracites!!! They look sick on that car up there in that picture!! If the wait isn;t too long, just sit it out and you will be glad you did once you have the anthracites on your Camaro. I don't think Chrome would look good on them, but im not a big fan of chrome. The anthracites kick ***.
