There is really not much difference in the styling that I can see and the price for these is way better. If you guys can see one what is the difference between these and the tt2's?

Shoot look at the comparison in prices especially for the grey(silver ones) which would be the kind that I would want.

CL205-711563 TT2 17x11 Classic $354.99

and for the ones that Todd posted

The center cap area is different. I think these actually look much better because of it. The TTIIs have a huge portruding chrome center cap.

Btw, as far as the styling, when Ford came out with the new wheel design for the Bullitt and new GTs they came out with this, presumably so they wouldn't have to pay American Racing for their TTIIs. So basically this is the Camaro version replica of Bullitt wheels which are almost replicas of TTIIs. lol

What are the available offsets on these?
I saw a 94 with the 9s on front, and they appeared a little sunken into the fenders, while the 10.5s on back stuck out a little much for my taste.
What would be the best offset to put 10.5s under the back as far as possible before hitting anything? Really close though.
This is a general question, not just for these rims. I will get some kind of 10.5s, but only if I am sure they get tucked under the car as far as possible.
Thanks
Dave

All those are are aftermarket Mustang wheels, with an offset to fit GM's. I think they would look good on old IROC's and Z's...Just my $.02

These wheels are available with black centers - check out the 2004 Ford Racing Catalog. They are alternatives to TT2's, but Ford styling on on a SS?!
Actually the Ford Bullit wheels are a rip of the American Racing Torque Thrust-D and the Cragar Series61 from the 60's. Here are links for those who don't remember:
http://www.americanracing.com/wheels...ated&section=V
http://www.cragar.com/Series61.html

All they did is change the center cap and the lip a bit.

If you like that, you'll probably also like the Cragar SS:

has anyone ordered a set of these yet? I have an 2001 SOM Z28 and am trying to decide between the grey spoked ones or the SLP 10 spoke painted aluminum rims. Can someone photoshop a side view of a stock height SOM with the grey spoke rims for me? thanks
