Default New Wheels, Finally!

i guess you can say that i am not very.. "fresh" in my choice of wheels

went from a black zr1's to chromed zr1's. and now i was purchasing those torq'n trust,

tried and trusted some say

i must admit i do really like them,

the car seems a little bit higher fromt he ground on those pics, but i just let it on the floor after months of jackstands,

and yeah.. the trunk lid is open

i think zr1 look best on a z28 and tt2 look best on a trans am. there is no wheel better then a tt2 on a ta for the price and same for a zr1 on a z28. the only better wheel for both cars is ccw's but we all dont have 4k to spend on rims your car does look amazing tho. wish i could of found chrome tt2 for my car when i had it.
