Default New Rims

Im getting new rims very soon, but Im contemplating on which rims I should get for my car. Im looking at either TT2's, TTM's, and ZR1's with the "lip" on the rear. This is a crucial step in my cars appearance, which one do you think I should go with? I know there has been a ton of threads about this and I have searched for a while. Once I buy my wheels I will also be putting in the Eibach Pro-Kit as well to get rif of the 4x4 mod......The setup I would go with would be 17x9 in the front and 17x11 in the rear. Here is my car by the way:



TT2's:


TTM Anthracite:


TTM Black:


I am looking to the Chrome TTM as well, but they didnt have a picture on their site.......

ZR1 Chrome:


ZR1 Black:


ZR1 Gunmetal:


Any help or opinions would be much appreciated........

Thank You,
Chris

Do you have your back panle painted black if you do go with the black ZR1's or the black TTM's.

If I do get any color but chrome, the berger will be painted black. The rim color that I go with will determine the theme for the rest of my car....

for a red camaro, i would go with the basic 18" zo6 wheels (chrome/black/black w. chrome lip). yeah lots of people have them, but thats because they look so good. zr1 dont look good, TT look better on trans ams, so...thats just my opinion.
good luck.

I dont want ZO6's cause I want to run at least a 305 in the rear. I also dont want to spend more than 1400 on tires and rims together and those all fit under that category....If I had the money I would buy Fikses Fully polished, but I dont so this is where I stand. Bandit nobody cares about your gay *** opinions ok bro. I know everyone has those rims and thats fine with me, I like the way that they make our cars look......Keep the opinons and ideas comin.

I was gonna vote TT2's but I think the black TTM's with polished lip would look pimp as long as you had a theme going ya know , maybe a black berger panel , some window tint , maybe an slp or black billet grille. That was a really nice choice of rims you put up there , kinda hard to decide

I would go with the TTII's and take them into a paint shop to get the centers powder-coated or painted black. The TTM is a nice wheel but, in my opinion, they just don't look as good as a TTII on an F-Body. I can't tell if your car is hugger orange or red (im kinda tired ) but either way black TTII's look KILLER on those colored cars!

I'm sure you have seen these pics before but I firmly believe they demonstrate how well these wheels look on these two colors.





Good luck with your decision!!!
