Default NBM 4th gen T/As w/rims other than stock!

I just bought an 02 NBM T/A and was wondering which rims would look best? Someone mentioned the C6 Vette Rims in chrome... does anyone have some pictures of their NBM T/As with rims other than stock?! Thanks!

I have C6 rims on my NBM TA, but they're Machine Faced Motorsports

I really like those, I have the same color blue but its a Convert WS6
Did you lower it with those? did you need spacers to install them?

Anyone have an NBM TA or Form with Chrome TT2s? If so do they make them with a 1" or 2" lip?

Those C5s look sharp, I cant decide between C5s or TT2s!!!! Should I go 18" around or 17" around? I want wider rims/tires in the rear than the front... what are some good suggestions?

I like the ZR1's personally. 17x9", 17x11" in the back if so. I run that set-up. Great. Come in a few different color/finsih options to choose from. Can be bought new or used at reasonable prices.

This is a forum member's car. Frost I beleive his name is, impressive car to say the least. He run's Zr1's. This is only picture I could find easily. I'am sure you could find more.



Either or you can't go wrong. Y2K's or TT2's are good choices.

As far as size goes, you can fit large wheel's and tires under these cars. So it's all preference. Look on to the appereance detailing or wheel and tire sub forum, near the stickies. See what you like.

I dont have this set up.. but I should have gone with it lol.... 17x11 (315/40) in the rear and 17x9.5 (275/40s) in the front.

My dumbass ordered 17x9.5s all around.. and they ended up only having 17X8.5s in stock.. so I took them because I could still fit my 275/40s all around and I NEEDED my rims/tires in ASAP to get my TA back from the shop it was at... but I would have done it differently if I wasnt on such a time constraint when I ordered.
