I think the blue T/A above looks damn good with them. Depends on the wheels. TTII's are old school, so they don't lend to the more modern blacked out look if you ask me. My buddy has a NBM WS6 with black ZR1's, it looks sick.

To each his own. I would drive my car over that nbm ta anyday.. but if you're going to get some black tt2s. I think they HAVE to have a polished lip. Heres a pic of my old TT2s. You cant tell me that polished lip doesnt look killer on them.

When did I say a polished lip on a black wheel doesn't look good? I think it looks killer. Much better then the whole wheel being polished.

I thought about having the spokes on my TTII's powdercoated.
I am SO glad I didn't.


Full polished on a semi-blacked out T/A looks the best to me.

lol. you guys crack me up. honestly I don't think the black ZR1's work good on a black 4th gen f-body. a few select other black on black yes. the black TA in this thread with the ZO6's looks decent. but I just don't like black ZR1's for some reason. that black camaro up there^ looks killer. but like Donohue said, if you get a black wheel... it'll look better with a polished/chrome lip.

On a black car powdercoated grey spokes look the best.
