Default Time to change wheels

Seeing as how much you guys love "What wheels should I get" threads, I give you yet another. My camaro is BTM, not MTM. I have a budget of $1300 (can scrounge up a little more if I must, but not much more). This thin budget has to cover tires as well as mount and balance. I completely understand that any tires I get will probably not be very good.

I do not drag race this Camaro any more by the way. Got another toy for that

Let the suggestions roll. Here's some pics of the victim:

11's in the rear would be really slick. I wonder if tomz is running that sale still.

i am not sure what you plan on doing w/ your old ones, but you could sell them and make a decent chunk of money back.
also, get sumitomos for your tires. $400 for 4 tires and i have always been impressed with their longevity. (got mine from tirerack.com)

I can only afford the sumi's. I actually have 2 sets of wagon wheels that will be laying around soon enough. How about the TTM's? I think they look cleaner, and I like chrome more than a polished finish.

Blue and black look good together.

It's actually bright teal. I've never been able to get a pic that does it justice becuase it's always changing color.

Thanks for the help everyone, I bought wheels and tires today, TTMs. (I wanted chrome, and the TTM is a personal fav over the TT2's)
