Okay, so lets try this again... I have a pewter metallic trans am 2001 and looking to put rims on it.. my choices are TTII's(chrome), zr1's (black or chrome w/ or w/o lip) or stock rims again(black or chrome)... Or Chrome CCW's

Whats your opinion and if so can i get some pics?

Umm... CCWs. the new ZR1 wheels are too big for an fbody IMO. CCWs are expensive as hell but very light and beautiful on a TA.
