Default Time for new wheels?

I'm thinking about changing my wheels to TTII's or Smoothie 2's. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions or should I just keep what I already have?

I would keep what you have over TT2's or Smoothie 2's. If you want a little different look why don't you paint the centers black or gun metal

I thought about it, but I think that they would look too dark on the car. Also thought about having them polished but I think that will look too 'bling'.

Shoulda been a Poll!! ..

Do0d.... Your wheels look killer! Put it this way.... how many F-Body's do you see with your wheels?.... How many F-Body's do you see w/ Smoothies or TTII's???


IMO, the Smoothies and the TTII's are great classic looking wheels but they are too common. That's why I did not get them. Trying to be a somewhat original. Tho I understand you get board with the same look.



I love the crome lip on your wheels! Seriously, they really are jaw droppers!

Wait a minute.... Were you in last year's LS1TEch Callender?!?!?! ... W/ the texas flag background?? Anyway, it's my wallpaper on my work computer.
