Default 17" wheel options - 99 Formula

Started planning Summer mods and I would like to do wheels and tires if I have enough money. My car is a bright red 99 Formula. I am trying to decide between torq thrust wheels and C6 replica wheels. Not sure about finish yet, but can you guys help me out with what it could look like with both of those wheel choices via pics. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find them on bright red firebirds.

If money isn't a problem, I'd go with some FM5s. Otherwise, I think the 96-99 WS6 wheels would look great.......never been a fan of the TTMs cause all it is a Mustang wheels with an fbody bolt pattern but again everybody has different taste in wheels

If you could find a set of used WS6 wheels with good tires that would probably be your best bet, budget wise. And you can't beat the look - WS6's look great on Formulas.

I have '01 Speedlines on mine and love the look.

Thanks for the pics Stuntman they looks pretty good. I wish I was good with photoshop so I could change the color to bright red to see exactly how they would look against my car. The anthracite wheels looks good too Bluebird!
