u know....... i would say tt2"s, thats what i was going to get but then i realized that about 7 million people have those, and i dont think i would be very happy if i was at a red light or something and the same car, color, and rims pulled up next to me, that would **** me off. so i decided not to get those. sorry if i ruined it for ya but i just cant see getting themafter that.

hahahaahahahahahaha i love how everybody that says the c6 over the tt2 their main reason is that not everyone has them,but never cause they look better.i dont think people relize that most of the zr1 and tt2 owner knew when they bought them that everyone has them, I know that when i got mine I wasent thinking "im so cool and original i bet no one has every put zr1s on a trans am" for me i liked the way the wheels looked on trans am that I didnt care that they were played out.

and to the guy who started the thread -i dont reallly know why people start threads like this cause everyone has thier own personal taste and in the end all your gonna get is the opinion of what they prefer, in no way will these opinions reflect on you and what you like.plus those wheels styles are very different to me when I see c6 on f-bodys i think bling,big woofers,and show car. when I see tt2 I think american muscle,performance,and just flat out mean looking.with that being said I love bass

Havent seen them on to many fbods to say if they look good or not. As far as tt2's go to be perfectly honest with you they do nothing for me. They are such a common wheel that it looks like a common wheel and doesnt turn my head. If your looking for something new why go with something old?

Default just my .02..............

............but i liked them both but opted for my c6 motorsports. again, this is my opinion and everyone has their own idea of what looks good and what doesn't. go for what YOU think will look best on your ride. ultimately, you're kickin down the cash and you have to drive it. don't be afraid to think (or build) outside the box.

peace

re: lsi charged post - "i think they look good, but i would see if i could get a different center cap for them."

there are blank center caps available. i think lakeshorewheelandtire.com has them. search for wheel caps. gonna order a set up soon.

as far as the black (wheels) on black (car), i almost went with that look, but, again my opinion, i think that the color-keyed wheels look is going to fade, whereas chrome against black, while not trend-setting, will always be in style.

again, just my .02

peace

What sizes do they come in and where is the best deal on them? JMO but I think they would look very good on a red car as well!
