I have 02 pewter TA. Of the following wheels what would you pick?

Ruff 278 all chrome


Ruff 278 chrome lip w/ silver spokes


Third option was CCW 505a's which are too expensive for me so I deleted the picture

The bottom ones look like CCW 505a's. If they are I would definitely go with those. I think I would stick to polished aluminum though. Just about the best looking wheels on the market IMO.

Yes they are black chrome CCW 505A's on the bottom. For those wheels you are looking at $2,500 just for the wheels and whatever ever the chrome cost. Figure around $3,000 just for the wheels.

Wheel it looks like the CCW's will be too expensive for me. Is there a way to modify this thread to delete the CCW's

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone have the 9.5" wide with the 45mm offset front and back? I've been told that it should work on a TA but not on a Camaro due to the fender lines? I want to keep the same size on all corners ( 275/35/18")
