Everyone has TT2's not just F-bodies but the whole entire hotrod/muscle car community, they have been around since the 60's and while they look awesome don't you want to do something different? something that will bring attention to your car? so obviously doing something out of the normal for F-bodies is hard to do especially while making it look good, so I would atleast go with the C6 but already there are several F-bodies that have them and they come factory on corvettes, the plus to the C6's is the sizing (18x9.5 and 18x10.5, I like 18's), If i were you I would go with the C6's with a twist (paint them, polish the edges, i dont know just trying to give example) or what about the C6 Z06 rims? not to many people have these and they come in great sizes, search ebay for them, a few months ago an ebay store sold a set that was a black gunmetal color, i thought they would look awsome and different. Just trying to give some suggestions.....GOOD LUCK!!!! post pics too!!!!!!

Yeah not everybody has C6's yet! My friend bought some C6's off e-bay and the first time he cleaned them a big chunk of chrome came off Thats why i still with the good ol retro TTII they will not rust, peel or and chunks wont fall off just my opinion........

Its an individual choice really. Everyone has tt II's. Personaly I'm saving for Fikse's, maybe fm10 or the Profil series, not sure which one yet. I like the 10's but the profil 5s has appeal but not sure. It looks like a vette or bmw wheel or something. The fm10 how ever looks like no other. I like the c6 better.
