TT2's would look better than those, and I agree with the others about doing 18s all around.

TomZWheels is doing a special on TT2's right now.

You could also look at the boyd smoothie 2's or junkyard dog's which I think are better looking than TT2's and much, much rarer.

i think ive pretty much decided on black zr1's with the polished lip. ive always liked the zr1's plus, they are half the price of the tt2's.

17x9 fronts and 17x11 rears.
they ought to give my car a mean look.
