Default Ok, what would u recommend me?
Here is my ride, and i think the stock wheels are too small and ruin the look of the car....
I was leaning towards some torq thrust 2's but what else would u recommend me guys? What size wheels also?





i am planning to go with ram air hood and 1inch lowering kit after the wheels

important question, whats your price range? TTII would look great on your car and for the price, you cant go wrong. Thats why so many people have them. But like posted above ccw and fiske are amazing, but pricey. I would do some searching around and maybe find something unique

I have the same car as you with the same wheels, I have been shopping for several months now, and this morning I ordered TT M's in Anthercite, I was going to get them through the online auction then I saw an ad last night from Tomswheels and I have never seen a better price on these wheels, I will let you know how they look when I get them. Some other wheels I was looking at were GM Speedline wheels that came on 01&02 Trans Ams, Dale Jr "killer" wheels, and Foose Legends.
