Out of those 3, I'd go for the Zr1's. Do a search under the name of the wheel and you'll find pics of all 3.

thanks guys, im pretty sure that i want the tt2's now, its tough to find a good pic with the NBM T/A with them, but i can picture it being pretty sexy lol. i thought about powder coating gunmetal, but i kinda want the polished look to stand out from my dark blue color, to match my hooker exhaust tips as well

Polished is a major pain in the ***, just to let you know. You should be prepared to spend 20-30 minutes a wheel at least to make them look good, and after the next rainstorm they look like crap again. I love the way my wheels look, I just hate the upkeep and am almost at the point of getting rid of them because of how they hold up in this Louisiana weather.

thanks for the replies... hey lsux, i tried going to your homepage but it didnt work, your sig picture looks mean, those wheels look so badass, if u can, post some pics up of your car with those wheels... i would like to see it! thanks! also, i have recently found that they actually make chrome TT2's now with a polished lip, that might reduce the cleaning time i hope... as much as i want shiny, i just might have to go with powder coat
