Default Got some TTM's on the SS

Was going to get some DD C5's but the color I wanted was out of stock for around 60 days and tires were going to be quite a bit so I started looking on craigslist again. Found these TTM's for 700, rims have 2000 miles on them, Nitto tires have 500. They are 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear. The tires are 245/45 and 315/35.I wish they were the TT2's but, what are ya gunna do? Still look better than the old Crager SS's I had though (hate chrome). Before everyone starts saying to lower it, I am in a couple weeks

I like them, then again I have the gun metals on mine.

Be the first, get the old school SS center caps ands put them on. I did the PMD centers on mine and they look a lot better than the plastic center cap. Not sure if they mount the same as the PMDs, but all I needed was 4 longer bolts.

Personally I like your black TTMs, as they tie in with the black roof nicely.

Yeah, get rid of the off road package and that thing will look amazing! I always laugh when I see photos of my car before I lowered it.

Very true. It just looks so much meaner when it's sitting low and flush to the fenders.
