Default TT2s vs. Firehawk wheels

I am looking for some decent looking wheels for my car. Sadly, I cannot afford the ones I want (fikse FM5s). So, for a Sunset Orange WS6, which wheels would look best?

chrome TT2s or chrome Firehawks?

TT2's, TT2's, TT2's, TT2's, TT2's, TT2's,

Sorry I just think this is one of the best designed rims I have ever seen. Good luck and make sure to share the pics.

i would go with the firehawks as these days EVERYBODY and their mother has TT2's. WAY to common. This is the reason i'm getting the Firehawks for my TA rather than TT2's.....Now if only the Firehawks came in 17x11

to go from a set of WS6 rims to firehawk seems silly to me, especially if you have the 98-01 style rims.

If you have the 01-02, then ok, i am not a fan of those, so i could do that.

If i had a regular TA, then i would consider it, but even then, the hawk rims look very similar to the stock chrome rims.

And yeah, for the Firehawks, the one's I'm gonna get in February, I might spend the extra money to get them widened in the back, if it doesn't cost too much. But yeah, that's my .02 for ya <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I've been having the same thought in my head. Another option is the y2k...similar to the firehawk.

Another, cheaper option is the eagle wheels..

only draw back is that they only come as wide as 9.5

I know alot of people say that "every body has TT2's".. but get you a set and have them painted or powdercoated.. People go crazy when they see my car.

Any rim other than a firehawk wheel. I tend to like the Firehawk wheels on a Firehawk.
