Default SOM Wheel options

I'm wanting some new wheels for my 02 SS and I'm looking for something besides corvette wheels. Anybody have any opinions?

I know they're somewhat common, but chrome or polished TT2's would look awesome with SOM.

I think the HP EVO wheels would look good... I think gunmetal or black looks good but I think gunmetal is different and looks really good on SOM.

Here is the link to them

Chrome TTM's here. Whatever you get, get something with a big lip on the rear. I could get you some pics of my car on ZR1's or TTM's later today if you would like.

I actually like the look of the HPR5's in that link. I think the Evo's are getting a bit overdone, and IMO they look better on a T/A.

I still say TT2 is the way to go. A nice classic look to go with a great color.

Anthracite TTM's might look good too, but IMO the Chrome TTM's look cheap. The spokes just look too fat, I don't care for them in chrome. Just my .02 though.

The FM/5's or the Aro's are always a good bet.

Yeah, those FM5's are killer. I've loved that wheel since the first time I saw it.

The Aro's are pretty sexy too.

They look like a good choice.

What is your budget? Next, What look are you going for? drag racing?, road racing?, or street stalker?

I personally love the way it looks now
