TT2s can make a garbage can look good.

Classic wheel, looks good on most cars, etc. Yep, they are everywhere, but honestly I haven't seen a car just like mine with them, and they just flow so well on a t/a.

Z06 wheels to me, "eh"

Oh, and your car would look good with TT2s with say, a charcoat center.

hmmm I don't know.. I have been told that charcoal TT IIs would be great. I like the BLING though of polished ones. hmmm charcoal would be less to polish though Not a fan of the Z06s myself.

I don't know but I really like TTIIs they just look great. I like the bling when they are all polished up but the work that it takes is some times not so much fun.




Charcoal TTIIs are real easy to take care of. Brandon I think charcoal TTIIs would look great on your NBM

I've been looking at wheels for over a year now and I keep going back to the TT II's also, you just can't beat the classic look on modern muscle IMO.

Look a little deeper for some deep dish wheels. There are all types of deep dish wheels that just blow me away. Try to find one that everyone and there mom doesn't have and looks awesome.

TTII are definetely a great looking wheel but seriously there are too many cars floating around with them. If you like them go for it but just realize it wont be original

You just can't argue with that statment. Yes there are better looking lighter wheell out there but 2+grand just for wheels is totally out of the question for me thats why I went the TT2 route $900 shipped to my door you just can't beat that.

It appears that I am in the minority one this one but I do not think TT II's belong on T/A's
Just my opinion. I love the HP EVO's ? on T/A's though, nothing looks meaner.

my thoughts again.

01 red ws6's wheels look good, but I dont really call that charcoal, thats a little light, but it looks good on a bright car.

A little darker color would set the car off.

Im picky when it comes to wheels on cars. The firebird line has alot of smooth lines, just like the tt2's. they flow well together. tt2s and a camaro dont match for me, the camaro just seems to need a sharper lined wheel ( like the evo/ z06, etc)

Now a set of FM5s look pimp on anything, but they are $.

Prices on the site are:
$463 each.....17" x 9.5"
$477 each.....17" x 11"
