Default Non Vette Wheels

I love the way vette wheels look on F body's don't get me wrong. I'm in the market for some new wheels and it seems like everyone has vette wheels. I would like to see pics of all of you that don't have vette wheels. So if you have a F body with different wheels I would love to see them.

If they're not Vette wheels, they'll have TTIIs or TT-Ms. Those are the only wheels you can put on F bodies.

I have none of the above, but unfortunately they do not make my wheels any more and I bought mine used.

If they made mine I would have at least two 18x9s instead of being stuck with the 18x8s all the way around.

Sportmaxx makes some nice looking wheels (962) but I have heard from multiple places they are total **** quality.

You could get some Ruff Racing too, I like the 278 but it still doesn't have that big wow factor for me.

Are u serious thats the only wheels available. I had no idea. That really puts me in a crappy mood. Why is it I have seen cars with American raceing wheels? You would think that there would be more options out there.

There are more wheels companies out there. I think you see vette wheels and ttII more often because you can pick them up for a decent price and not have to dish out a couple grand to get a set of wheels like ccw or fikse.

Yes, I was joking. -notice the little

Still, I'm surprised at the lack of wheels available for our cars. I have a better selection to choose from for my '88 Fiero, for cryin' out loud.

Yeah you got me. Its kinda hard to tell sometimes. I didnt' think it was right but who am I to agrue. I haven't own a F body long. I've never shopped for wheels for my car. Buying wheels is such a tough decision. You never know how its going to look until you put in on the car. That's why I'm asking to see wheels on F bodys that aren't Vette style. You just see so many of them.
