2's are polished, M's are chrome. They have a bit different style on the spokes M's seem to be more flat, and 2's have sort of a double lip.

Exactly what he said!!! And the 2's have a better center cap imo, with that said I received my gunmetal M's monday an im very pleased. I got a few ideas for a different aluminum center cap tho.

My father in-law is an engineer at a steel/aluminum processing company, and they have a water jet. I gave him the regular center caps, he drew them up in CAD and wrote the water jet program for the flat cap. Then I counter sunk/sanded/polished/buffed, then added a custom WS6 center cap decal made by "bfranker." Turned out pretty good!

The offset is not very aggressive on the TTM and the wheels look really tucked. I think they could use a spacer to push them out... or something.

the pictures ive seen of TTm's , they look like they seem pretty flush with the 1/4 in the rear.

The fronts look just a little tucked.

Yeah, the rear is okay. The front is tucked too much. You can run pretty aggressive fitments on a 17x9 front. +30s something offset. I think those are close to +45 or so? So they actually stick out slightly more than stock 17x9s which are +50mm offset. But they look tucked when you see the rear tire sitting pretty flush.

HMMMM? well I cant find pictures to really show what your talking about.

the couple pictures up top look basically the same on the front tires and the rears.

TTM are basically aftermarket versions of the mustang wheels, the spokes are shaped different than the TTIIs

"not my ride"


I found these 2 pix of the TTM's so we can see the difference.
they dont look tucked to me.

17/11= TT2 rears
17/10.5= TTM rears

you cant even see the 1/2 difference on the rear..wonder why they even did that.

lip looks a little different and the spokes but basically the same wheel.

I like the look of the TTM's, as a matter of fact I was thinking about getting a set if I could find them used cheap.

Thanks. I'll have to look in to possibly making a set. I love those centers. I hate "stock" ones that come with the TTII's. You should consider selling them, I'm sure they would sell.

I actually sold a set of stainless steal blanks to another boardie...I think I have one more set if you are interested. You would have to do all of the work to them though. The nice thing about the stainless is that they are quite a bit thinner, and should be easier to polish out the edges on...the ones on my car are aluminum and were quite a bit of work because of the thicker stock. I'll double check when I get home and see if I have another 4. Let me know if you want them.

I think My m's look tucked in the front because of my camber angle.

at stock height they appear more flush?
