Default Where can i get CHROME tt2 look alikes?

I've searched and searched....AND

i cannot find any wheels that both look like TT2's and are Chrome in a 17X9.5 or 17X10

i've seen the ones on ebay which are the closest to what i'm looking for but the widest they have is a 9"

i've also seen the TTM's but i dont like the smooth lip. they remind me of mustang wheels.

any other suggestions?

Thanks fellas,
Jeff

90% of the time the "look-a-like" wheels don't look-a-like. When I think of the many look-a-like cragar wheels i've seen...bleh. Actually, the only look-a-like wheels that look-a-like are the factory repro's.

You can order TT2s in chrome, you can also order them with cast gray centers. Those would also look kick *** on your pewter car, and not many people have them here. Here are the gray ones on my '69 Camaro, in 18"

Tomzwheels can order them for you.

well I was going to get 18'' tt's but to get them in 18''chrome they have special order them. they are going to cost you about 1500.00 for just the rims wheels are going to run you another about 600.00 and the widest you can go is 18x10(i think). and there is no way you can run good old 315 in the rear, sucks!. so thats why I just got the 17x9.5/275F and 17x11/315R
and I love them

you can get them in chrome but they're expensive(like the above post says), take about 8 weeks to arrive, and also only the center is chrome. the outter lip is still polished aluminum.

this is all information that i got after calling TomZwheels.

so imo it's not worth it to get tt2's in "chrome"

and btw, TomZ is running a special on tt2's right now~

AZRAEL!!!

thank you so much for this picture. i've been looking for a closeup of some TTM's on a camaro and have never been able to find one.

this picture completely sells me on TTM's.

Thanks man,
Jeff

Actually they are the Sumitomo HTRZII 275/40-17 in the front and the Nitto NT555R 315/35-17 in the rear.

We got them from Tomzwheels, for around $900 ($869 plus extras IIRC).

We have a bunch of extra 275/40-17s from the stock ZR1's we had and bought the Nittos from Discounttiredirect.com for our 17X11 ZR1's the TTM's replaced.

They really look much better in person!
