Default What's the difference between TT2's and TTM's

I keep reading about some sort of lip for the rear on the TTM but I can't really see what anyone is talking about they look identical to me, anyone got some pics to compare or can explain this to me???

This is a TTII. The lip is stepped and the spokes have more of a curve to them.

If you want to see TTM's, go look at Mustangs

So those are factory rims on that mustang becouse i havent see any bullits or stangs that came in chrome or with a big lip in the rear around here ?? most come in black or painted and are only 9in wide with no lip in the rear. But i guess you knew that since your so up on ford.

Ford copied the Torque Thrust design when they went with the "bullit" wheel. That design was around long before the bullit ever hit. There were lots of late 60's Camaros running around with them back in the day.

The TT2 is a 2 piece wheel, the center section with the spokes is welded to the outer part of the wheel. The TTM is a solid one piece.

I think the TTms look similar to Mustang Bullitt wheels and always think of them when I see them. I don't like either style on Camaros or T/As but I think the TTIIs look a lot better than the TTMs

Then they made them in crome, black, and so on... I think I don't like them because they are so over done in the Mustang crowd and they do look similar to the AR wheels

I think what he meant was that all the bullitt wheels (aftermarket or factory) still use the TTM design. he was saying to look at the mustang's bullitt wheel if you want an example of a TTM, since they are pretty much exactly the same.

And yes, those were aftermarket bullitts... that used to be my car lol.

Thank you. 2001z obviously isn't the brightest crayon in the box.

I don't care who copied who on the design. Bullitt wheels are VERY common on Mustangs and resemble TTMs. So when TTMs are on a Camaro, a lot of people I know, instantly think "Mustang wheel!"

Thats your opinion and your welcome to it . I think the same way about the overplayed zr1s and z06s .I used to have both and got tired of seeing them on every other fbody that rolled by. But back to the topic of the thread and not to if you like them or not but the diffrence between the tt2 and the ttms like someone stated earlier is one is a 2 piece wheel with a a diffrent lip and deeper pedals and the other is 1 peice with a flat pedal and come in chrome which tt2s dont enless you want to pay 100 more a rim and it is just the center they chrome.

So if you are trying to bash people for owning TTM's because they look like Mustang wheels then I have news for you...... those look really good on that Stang!

Who cares if wheels look like something that are from another car as long as they are nice and I am not into Fords.
