nice looking wheel.
make sure they offer the right bolt pattern/offset for our cars, as well as a wide enough size for the rear.

I got the TSW Jaramas on my T/A back in March. So far no problems and love the lip on the rears. What size are you planning on going with?

you have any pictures of them? I'd like to go with some 17's probably 17x11 and 17x9.5 but I'm not real sure if they make them. I haven't seen them on an f-body yet so there must be a reason why.

I have posted pics of the wheels, just search for my sn. I went staggered with 20s, so not sure about the 17s.

No way in hell I'd sacrifice wheel & tire width for a certain wheel.. Just my $.02

IMO, go with the 18s, you can get them in 18" x 9.5" with a +45 offset.

18's sound a little big in my opinion. I'm afraid i wouldn't be able to roast those big bastards anyone have that problem? I think I'm just going to go with a set of the newer c6 wheels. they look pretty good!

17's would be a waste to do IMO. 17's are a factory option and a lot of the times look tiny. Get em in 18s with a big fat *** lip in the back, it'll look so sick!!
