why do most go with TT2s over TTMs?

TT m(ustang) are supposedly made for the fbody but you can also get a shelby centercap through AR. I was considering the wheel for a short time until I saw them on mustangs too many times in 1 day. The fact that they are everywhere on mustangs leaves people with a bad taste in their mouths when mentioniing this wheel.

Rims
I have TTM's on my red '98 and love them. Rims should be what YOU like and not what others want you to have. This is what makes them unique and different. Mustangs have this style, but I bet if you do some research mustangs weren't the first with this style rim. It's basically an old muscle car look. The good thing is that if everybody goes with the II's, the silvers and the blacks then mine just stand out more on a CAMARO Z28!

I don't really care if they come on Mustangs or not, but I like the TTII's better simply because the spokes seem to have more curvature to them, if that makes since. The M's just look shallower as far as the spokes go, and I don't like it as much.

Boyd Coddington makes a really nice wheel similar to the TT2's. If money isnt an issue I would go with those, and if you dont mind polishing. My Silverado has Pro Star replicas and they look horrible. I have that "Powerball" that is drill powered and it works well when you dedicate the time to your vehicle.

Also, the Smoothie II's are a badass rim, I considered those when I was shopping around.

I agree, I personally like the way my TTM's look on MY car, regardless of what anyone else is running for rims. I understand why it's an issue for most F-body guys but its not at all for me.

This is simple the TT2 bring a classic and muscle look to the 4th gen cars. Not to mention they are an awesome looking wheel. You can't beat the look of the spokes. TTM looks like ***. They are a spitting image of stock mustang gt wheels. Why would people put a wheel that looks like that on their fbody? I don't understand. Get some TT2's, TTClassics, 200S, SmoothieII's, Junk Yard dogs, AR Hopsters, AR rebels, anything but a TTM.

I could not agree more. I have TTM's on my Camaro... Love the timeless design and classic look. You're forgetting the original style of the five spoke wheel made by American Racing is on Hot Rod's most revolutionary speed part Hall of Fame - type - list because they defy time. While never originally offered in a 17 inch size, the company must adapt and reposition itself to accommodate the changes the in technology. What they offer today is a modern twist to the original wheel. Was the original wheel ever offered on the Mustang? No. Calling the TTM's a Mustang wheel is rather pathetic and shows narrow-mindedness. With that being said, Mustang or not, the wheel compliments the Camaro and Firebird incredibly well.
They do look nice on your car.
But I am partial to mine.
not the best pic-
My buddies WS6 om black TTM's- they look good too-
The main thing I have against the TTM, is that the spokes look kinda flat- where as the TT2 look to have more depth in the design.
The TTM's look cheaper to me. I do like them in black better than silver...don't like the M's at all in chrome/polished.
