Default In terrible need of new wheels!!

These silver 16 inch, curbed up stockers are killing me. I'd like to get some 17x11's for the rear and 17x9.5's or so for the front. I'm not trying to spend a ton of cash for these so the only options that I have are either zr1's or tt2's...correct? I definitely want the 11" wide wheels in the back with some 315's, they look mean as hell! I've been searching for month's and the only things I can find are 1.) Polished zr1's 17x11 17x9.5 2.)Black w/ polished lip zr1 17x11 17x9.5 or 3.) Polished TT2's 17x11 17x11. My trans am is black also so i'm a little undecided on the black car/black wheels thing. I've seen some pic's and it looked pretty evil, but I searched several times and can't find any black ta's with polished zr1's, anybody have any pics?

Are there any other wheels out there like these that aren't going to absolutely break my wallet?

Sorry for the long post btw.

I love the looks of the TT2s on a TA. That's probably what I'll go with eventually, and they don't cost you an arm and a leg do they?

TTII's at this link: https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/294920-finally-315-s-mounted.html

I have two TTII's I would sell you mounted with 255/45 17's with 1/2 tread... 9 out of 10... they have about 3K miles on them. They came of fthe back when I put on the 17X11's.

In the sizes you want those wheels are really your only choice, keeping a budget in mind . . .

I'd prolly spend up to about $1500 max, for a set of wheels. Then i'd have to get the tires, and have them mounted and balanced and all that, but that's another topic. I'm in VA.
