Vote On Your Favorite Rims I bent my rims (long story) and now I can't decide on which ones to get. I am deciding between:
Chrome 10 Spokes
Chrome Y2K Vette Rims
Chrome Z06 Rims
Polished Aluminum Torq-Thrust II's
Chrome Cragar SS Rims
To see them: Click Here
I also can't decide between 17's and 18's. I'm leaning more towards 18" Cragar SS's right now.
If i were to go with 18x9 or 18x8.5, what is the correct tire size? Is it 275/35/18 and would I need to adjust anything for my speedo to work correctly?
Let me know what you all think!

Re: Vote On Your Favorite Rims chrome zo6's unless you like drag radials..then you ned something 17".....I run good ol' chrome zr1's for the 11" drag radials. Plus its a classic look to me. If I wasn't much of a drag racer I would go Fiksee or HRE 18" & 19"'s.

Re: Vote On Your Favorite Rims Personally I like the Cragar SS rims, especially on a TA. It's probably because my older brother had a '79 TA with them on it and that's what got me hooked.
One day I might sell the chrome ZR1's and get a set of the Cragar SS's
