I think they do sell them like this, but the spokes are more of a dull gunmetal color

I believe ARE sells the one piece version with a light grey center.
This is called the 309 series.


Then they have the 2 piece in a dark grey color.
This is called the CL205 series.

Very nice looking Freaky. I can't help but wonder if it would look better or worse if the lugs were black or the center cap was black.

BTW, are those both the 9.5 size?

I was gonna do the lugnuts but they would always be getting chipped and f'ed up everytime I'd use the airdrill to loosen them to take off the tires, so it would of made it look worse.

Looks good. I like the center caps the way they are. I don't see that too often.

very nice man...
if i hadnt kept hearing about TT2's being fucked up and not being completely round and not balancing right i would get a set i dont wanna take the chance of shelling out that cash and getting some dud wheels

does anyone know the weight difference between stock ws6 wheels and TT2's? i seem to remember the TT2s being pretty damned heavy as well

joeformula, that's a pretty harsh thing to say. It's too late for him to redo it. Leave the boy be. It looks real good.

02blackws679ta, pretty much any item bought through a reputable company will be warrantied for any manufacturing defects. If you were to happen to get a bad one, I'm sure they would replace it. ARE has been around many, many years.

BTW, here is some wheel weight data.

yea, i realized that...im mainly refering to one thread in particular about someone who has gone through like 10 wheels or sets of wheels or something and still has lop sided wheels

I like them. I’m doing something similar to my stock Z28 wheels.

I'll post some pics when I get it done.

Now, did you use enamel paint or did you powder coat them?

I just bought my wheels and didn't have a problem with a lop sided wheel. I think that person my just be the fluke out of all of us.
