Post Torque thrust m on my 2000 trans am???

When I first bought my car I purchase the TTII's. Love wheel but didn't like spending and hour and a half polishing every weekend since its a daily driver. Sold those wheels and purchased my current wheel, C6 Z06 wheels 18x8F 18x10.5 rear with the Toyo T1r's all the way around. VERY nice wheel but way to heavy. I noticed a dramatic lose of performance due to the weight. Also those T1r's are NO FUN!!!! Way to soft and sticky of a tire for my basically stock car. After doing some research I found that the TT m's in chrome 17x9f 17x10.5r with the same sumitomos as the TTII's would be best choice but I wanted to get some input from everybody and see if we could get some MORE picture of F-Bodies with the TT m's.
THIS IS MY FIRST POST!!!!!!!

Thanx for the welcome!!! Its good to know there are people out there that enjoy their cars as much as I do!
SICKO - Good point. I just don't like the feel of the larger wheel. Know what I mean?

TallgeeseIV - I'm 95% sure I'm gonna get them, but would love more pics.

ah, best i could do for you, i haven't done a photoshoot in forever, and it's dark here, had to take it in the garage.

that close it doesn't really show you anything... but trust me, it fits. just get used to this question "Why did you put Mustang rims on a GM car....?"

If you look long enough you might be able to see a Trans Am in the background.

You should be good with just an adjustable PHB
Tire rack has the wheel specs.
