Default Which Rims?

Just wondering which you guys would look better on a Black TA...

American Racing - Rebels (Black)
American Racing - Torq Thrust II's (Centers powder coated black)

I think the black rebels would look good. I'm not a fan of the TT II's!.

I voted for the TTII's. I love the way they look on my car! And I couldn't beat the price from TomZWheels.com.

Pros and Cons of both....I just bought 4 brand new 17" tires so If I got the TTII's I would save about $550 in tires...but they cost about $100 more for the rims...

I would need to spend about $600 on new 18" tires if I got the Rebels...

You dont see Rebels very often, BUT then again I dont see blacked out TTII's around here either...

Rebels by a long shot! Every T/A has TT2's and more and more every day. See if you want black rebels you dont buy there black ones because they have a machined lip. You get the chrome ones and pant the back black and it will look sick with the chrome lip!!!!
