Silver TA= Foxrus14 (TTM)
Red TA= Josh99TA (Old car) (RR278)
Black TA= 01Bird58 (TTM)
I couldn't find black TTM's on a Red TA so if you got it post it for me!

For those who don't know the RR278's are the 10 spoke and the TTM's are the 5 spokes. RR278's are 18' and the TTM's are 17'. Both are about the same in price. Less people have RR278's so I'm leaning towards that.

I am partial to the RUFF's even though they don't come as wide as I would like. Just like the styling.

I like the 278's but only when they AREN'T black. If you have to get back rims get the TTM's

Ruff Racing 278 = T/A
AR TTM = Camaro

I think the simpler styling of the TTM's look better on a Camaro and the flashier look of the 278's, with the split spokes and rivets, looks more at home on a T/A.

I vote other: red with anthracite TTMs!

My car is black but I think the anthracite would look really good on a red car too

The dealer on ebay said he'd have some in next week.

I ordered mine on ebay and a month later the wrong offset came in. They are still here waiting on pickup two months later. They lie to get your money! Be careful and only pay when they say they are in stock!

$810 shipped is the best I've seen, but I'm looking at the wheel/tire combo for $1430. They come with Falken 452's and they're mounted and balanced already.

Black RR 278's are out of stock for 3 months from one ebay seller, I'm trying another, but the first guy said everyone was out. Well the 18' are out, he says he has 19's in stock.
