I think the TT2's look good in a 18", but the TA's I have seen with those fat rears with the 17" wheel takes the cake.

c6 18" wheels. so you can put some c6 brakes. Also the ws-9 hood is really nice.

I'd only put a hood on if I was in an accident and the paint tab was on insurance, or maybe if I had a buddy selling one. It's just such a huge bill for something that is 100% looks if you're going all new oem and footing the paint bill.

Zo6's belong on Camaros.

So I say either of the others in 17 or 18.

Painting around the exhaust and blacking things out can look killer on a white car. Maybe some cheaper options forya!
