Evo's look 100x better imo, that wheel is sooo much less played out than TT2s!! No offense to any TT2 guys, they look awesome on these cars which is why 60% of F bodys have them haha. It is just nice to see something different

I've had that happen to me twice, once while doing 80mph down the interstate when the front passenger side started making a racket then the tire locked up. Scared the **** outta me, I slid over two lanes to the shoulder. Another time the rear came off. So I threadlocked the hell outta the bolts and haven't had a problem since. Sucks that happened to you man. And yeah the TT2's look awesome.

when this happened to me (wheel didn't lock up though) on my v6 camaro, i did some searching and found that it's not uncommon if you don't use loctite and use the original bolts.
whenever i change rotors and have to take the caliper bracket off now, i just order a new set of bolts that come from gm with loctite on them.

That SUCKS about what happened, but both sets of rims look good, but I like the black rims a little more because they are a bit more unique

That must have been quite an experience! Definitely keep your TTII's. . .his car looks incredible with the EVOs and your car looks increidble with the TTII's, but i dont really like the look of the EVOs on your car.
