Default Suggestion for wheels for Formula...

I've been thinking about swapping the wheels on my Firebird, but I have no idea what to go to. I love the TT2 design it's classic and looks great on the car.

I was thinking about selling the wheels I have and running polished TT2s with 11s out back.

Let me see what you people have out there.

Btw...here are some pictures of my car for reference:
(note the car has a TA hatch on it also)





These were a buddies wheels I just swapped on for a week. I liked them but they were too big and tired would be rediculously expensive. lol

As much as I think the polished would look good, they are a PITA to keep clean and shiney. I loved the chrome Firehawks...kinda sad I don't still have them. lol

I think your car looks wicked as it sits, I'd just get 11" rears if that's what you're craving. Out of the 3 the TTII's look the absolute best!

IMO the polished tt2s with 315s would look the best, that's what I have on my white formula, so i guess I'm a little biased...

+1 for just going with the same wheel in wider width and saving money. Now if you are just interested in seeing something totally different on the car, then that's another talk show...

I love the look for the TT2s, but so does everyone else. Granted there's a reason for it, but I'm just trying to get away from the norm and do something unique.

I have been thinking about C6 Z06s in gunmetal. 18x9.5s and 18x10.5s with some 275 and 315s...
