Default Torque Thrust 2 -VS- Z06

I just wanna see what you guys think. Right now I have 17 inch TT2's, and might possibly upgrade to 18 inch Z06. So here's a post poll :p.

I'd have to suggest straying away from both. Too common on f-bodies. I'm sure there's alot of 18" wheels out there that you could find for about the same price. Unless you really like one of the two. Then, I'd say TT's.

I honestly think TT2's belong on firebirds and the Z06's on Camaros. I had the same dilemma and went with the Z06's because I think they look a little more sporty than the TT2's. No doubt they are both awesome wheels.

Kevin, I still haven't had a chance to talk to the body guy. I will be going to pick up my car from him these next few days and I will at that time ask him about the cracks showing up after time and also how much he will charge to fix the hood. I need to take the hood there with my truck, but that was being used for construciton at the time I had to go. Sorry for the lag dude.

Z06s!!!!! I know both are extremly popular, same w/ ZR-1s, but to me, Z06s look a hell of a lot better. I just cant stand the TT II look.

BigBlackZ28 - No problem. At least your keepin me updated.

Today I just went to a car show and 1/2 my compliments were probably on my rims . So yea! At least I know either way I can't lose. A lot of mustang guys were talking with me :p. This one guy had a 99GT with the AR S200 rims and came up to me and asked how I kept my TT2's so damn clean. He was shocked when I told him I also drive this everyday.

TT's are very sexy when cruising around town at sundown.
