Default Wheels on white WS6

I've got an arctic white T/A that I'm thinking of doing a wheel swap on. I'll likely upgrade to 18"s when I do. What wheels look good on these? I'm thinking about some AR TT2. Any other suggestions/pics?

I really like the look of black wheel on a white car. As for the style, I prefer the ZR1 over the TT. But those are just my opinions.

I think the TT wheels are REALLY out played personally. I dont like the look of them. Maybe you can look into an aftermarket wheel perhaps? White on white would look ok, but wont have the same effect as a black wheel on a black car. But...black wheel with a polished lip or even a very thin line of red around the wheel on a white car...thats money.

Like LS1RedZ said, it's all about your price range. If you can afford it, go with Fikse or CCW. Those wheels look good on ANY color F-Body.

I haven't really sat down and decided on a budget. I'm sure I could work out just about anything if I liked the wheel enough. I went through a black wheel phase and I was done with it pretty quickly.

You do realize "TT2"S are so played out that no one has them anymore. EVERY Corvette wheel is played out yet people still recommend them.

Did someone really suggest z06 spider wheels? Those wheels do not flow on a Trans Am at all. And chrome c6 wheels with fake rivets, wtf? Buy a wheel with a lip. I'd suggest TT2s, FM5s, or FM10s.

Some polished FM10s would look SICK on your car.

If money isnt an object, and budget is the last thing that comes to mind with these rims Ive always wanted to see HRE P40 monoblocks on a Trans Am.

This is just a PS I did.

Looks good but I still think Trans Am's need some kind of lip.

If you could get the rear of those wheels deep dished it would look 10x better
