I have a 2000 black firehawk and my firehawk wheels are pitting and flaking. I want to get a new set of wheels but can't decide on which to get. I really like the look of the firehawk wheels but also like the new TTMs. There are way to many cars with TT2s in my area. Everywhere i look....chrome wheels are anywhere from 200-250 a wheel to get rechromed. Should i go with some new wheels or get the hawks rechromed? Even if i do get new wheels...the hawks will go in storage. The only reason i really want the TTMs over the firehawks is so that i can fit a wider tire on the rear.

After seeing how mine pitted on the inside (not back area, inside of tire area) I say get new TTM's, but be warned, they are both made by the same company, American Racing, as they made firehawk wheels too for SLP. FWIW.

Hawks. TTM's are Mustang wheels.

This isn't anywhere near a comparison, firehawk wheels would look waaaaaay better than TTM's.

Rechrome your wheels, keep it genuine.

Keep the firehawks, their rare and everybody has tt's, i have 315/17/35 bfg drag radial no rubbing at all....gives it a meaner stance imo....here's a pic of them

Nice hawk. Any idea where i can get my wheels rechromed for a decent price? I really do't want to pay $250 a wheel.

No offense..but if i do it..im going to get the best job done possible so i wont have to redo it later on. Id rather do it once and do it right. I really jsut dont want to pay $250 a wheel. Some guys in cali do it for 160 a wheel....but then its going to be around 40 a piece for shipping.

I say if you can find someone then rechrome them for sure. I had the same problem, but just couldnt justify $1,000 on rechroming when I could get other wheels and still keep mine. I ended up buying some used fikse fm10s. If you find somewhere that will rechrome your wheels for cheaper than 250 a wheel that isnt in cali then please send me a pm as I would be super interested. Good luck.


BTW: 02 hawk your tires are waaaaay too big for your wheel. That kinda makes it look funny and is not safe.

DO NOT do that.
But, IMO, keep the Firehawks and maybe put a 285-40 on there.

Well the vote is 16-3 to get the firehawks rechromed...but no one has any ideas on where to get them rechromed?

Blackbird

get the rears widened to 17x11 and rechrome them all = pimptastic

RareBreed0295

How much more is it to get them widened? Any idea?

Blackbird

if you do a search a few threads should pop up. I want to say I remember it being $150/wheel. definetly search to confirm
