Default Options for TTII centers...

So I picked up some TTII's in place of my ZR1's and I like them alot better.. how-ever, every-one and their sorry little mother has these in either black, or the stock polished...

Sooo I'm looking for some-thing different...

I photoshopped come ones car that is near identical (Hope the owner doesn't mind!) with different wheel color options.

#1 Black

#2 Deep Red

#3 Color Match

#4 Copper

#5 Deep Gold


I'm WAAAY undecided myself...

If you got any suggestions, then feel free to help!

Something about #3 that really catches my eye. Color matched but appears translucent. Cool idea and different.

The #3 actually looks pretty hot, it's not a style I usually like either. I had to go with standard black though because it looks so tough on a red f-body.

I like the anodized red myself...

Anodizing would cost me an arm and a leg on all four wheels.

I wounder if a shop can spray a translucent red to Aluminum... I heard there is serious problems spraying aluminum and making it last.

Sell that set of wheels and get American Racing's TTII Classic. I am a little partial though:

Don't like heritage on new cars myself... but they look good on your car.

I'm kinda swaying between #2 and #3...

I'm getting quotes tomorrow and I'll let you guys know.

Haha, yeah... I only did it because a friend swore by it. Then again he drives around in a base ranger with a loud exhaust, and thinks burning out is traction.

I'll be heading down to the plater today to get some quotes on anodizing. Granted my business gets alot of work done by them, so I might get a "fair" price.
