Unless you know something I don't? If so, please tell, as i'd rather go 9 or 9.5.
And damn, after seeing your car directly comparing the two (btw thanks, that's perfect) I gotta have an 11" wheel. Those 18x10s simply don't stick out enough or have enough lip to them.
Sorry but if I had to choose between the two (for the overall look and stance) I would go with your TT2 setup...

Smoothie II's @WS6 Store: 17x8's--$220, 17x10--$230, $900 for a set.
TTII's@WS6 Store: 17x9's--$550 (pair), 17x11--$590 (pair), $1040 for a set.
Pretty sure that Tomzwheels can beat that price on the TTII's if I remember correctly, couldn't find them on their site, but you get the drift.
I have the TTII's, but I like the Smoothie's just as well. TTII's seem to come in more sizes and are pretty common to find used, so that's always a plus if you can find some at a good deal used.

I stand corrected then, the price comes out to near the same. I still don't think the SII does for the car what the TT2 does though, if you compare the two pics the TT2 sticks out just a little which makes it look great, but that's subject to opinion. I just think it looks funny flush, on a curved car.

I might have another picture that matches the angle of the pewter car a little better. I'll go through all my pictures and see if I can find one.
The thing that keeps me from really liking the smoothie IIs is the center cap and that it only comes in a 10" I could never give up my 11's

If they only made them in the same size as TT2's 
That's the only thing stopping me. On the front, 8" is an inch smaller than stock, and 10" is too much and i may run into problems fitting them. On the back, 10" isn't wide enough to give the same effect...
So TT2's it is!

You can get the TT2s in 18X10s all around just to let you know and you can also get them in a chrome center with a polished barrel, or just polished, just to let you guys know.
