Default American Racing Torque Thrust II Or Corvette Chromed Zo6

ALRIGHT EVERYONE TODAY I WILL DECIDE IF I AM GOING WITH THE TORQUE THRUST II'S OR WITH THE CORVETTE CHROMED ZO6'S. THE TT II'S ARE HIGH POLISHED AND THE ZO6'S ARE CHROMED. THESE ARE GOING ON MY RED 2000 CAMARO SS. PLEASE DONT SAY THAT ITS UP TO ME, I DO KNOW THAT I LIKE BOTH OF THESE, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS LIKE.

There is a reason they are "played out", well I think that's because they are some of the best looking, cheapest, wheels out there. I just got my TTII's put on today with 315's out back, and I think it looks amazing. But for your camaro, I love chrome ZO6's on a red SS!!

I have plenty of Boyd Torque Thrust alternatives which are cleaner and newer looking for very inexpensive..

Just an example.. Torque Thrust style w/ a dish..

Theres alot of people that have these rims but I just love the old school look. I would say go with the torque thrusters or get something like the boyds.

I like chrome over polished any day, regardless of the style of the wheel. My hubby loves the TT II's and he will probably end up putting those on his '41 ****** street rod. However, I still like the Z06's on Camaro's even tho we see them quite frequently around Houston.

I think on a black camaro TTII's are probably the best looking wheel out there. That said I have Hopsters (same wheel different design) the quality is crap, dismal even. But the TTII's do look nice and the runout may not be as noticeable on the coupe.

Fikse's are played but I don't think there is a better rim on a firebird. Chrome Z06's are hella cheap I mean HELLA cheap. I paid less for all four with cap\lugs\and locks SHIPPED then one Fikse FM5!!! But alas the ones I got are just temporary there will be some Iforged on by next summer Maybe some CCW's if they can get the one piece wheel tools done by then!

I'd go with the Z06's cheap so when you change your mind you can afford something else

Thank you for all of your responses, decided to stick with the stock SLP chrome ZR-1s. They are the cheapest (already paid for) and they look awesome! Thanks again.
