The size is fine, but the style looks like it belongs on a '93 ford explorer or something.

Sorry man, I hate em'. 20 and 18's is nothing like old muscle cars, and a 2 inch difference is too drastic, they are too thin and look almost like bicycle wheels. Your stockers looked a million times better IMHO. Sell them to some dude with a beat up blazer and put some decent wheels on it. Sorry man.

No offense. IMO, they're too big and they just don't enhance the "flavor" of a T/A.

damn people can't read or something, he said the poll was a joke....

I think the 20 is just a bit too big.... 17/18 or 18/19 I would have liked more...

the styling... they are different and most people here can't stand that, so unless you have TT2's your not cool, so brush off the comments, the wheels are fine

Paint the spokes gloss black and it will look a helluva lot better... Just met this guy last night:



and even though I'm not a fan of big rims it looked good since the spokes were black...

Thanks man. That is what I was thinkin. Every one else has what ever TT2's are, stock, corvette, or some other 5 spoke rim. I guess we are supposed to follow the leader.
