My Wheel Thread...

Well, after finding out I'm receiving so much for the damages to my car, when I get the money I can afford the **** wheels I've been wanting for a long time. Here's my problem: Chrome, Gunmetal, or Black rims?

I know I used to always say they were overplayed, but I can't help it seeing it on Adam's car it looks DAMNED nice... So do I go with TT2's?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43957

I think the chrome would look out of place though, and to continue the black and red theme I think I need gunmetal or black rims... I would of course prefer a chrome lip or something to atleast set it off nice.

So if I go that route, do I get black Zr1's:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...944203915&rd=1

Or do I get gunmetal?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...944203947&rd=1

I'd like to stay as close to $1000 as possible so I'm not spending my own money, but if it's a few hundred over I guess that's fine (Idealy only over $1000 if it includes the wheels too)

Alright I picked the black ZL1's because I hate TT2's.. I have never liked them and really don't see what everyone sees in them.. And I think it would look better to have the black with the red/black theme then the gunmetal.. IMO

Black ZR1s. The gunmetal would be ok too, but I think the black would go better with your theme.

I am not a big fan of the TT2s either.

I just think that they would look 10000 times better on a 1st gen instead of a 4th... IMO doesnt really fit..

Oh, might I add the TT2's are the same price as the wheel AND TIRE package of the Zr1's.

Those look great on your car.. All you would need after those is to lower it or to get some GFX.

Only some 4th gen fbodys can pull off having TT2, My friend has a 2002 WS6 Trans Am with TT2's and his car looks **** good. Now 93-97 camaros should not have TT2's and neither 93-97 T/A or Birds, I think some TT2's would look pretty good on a new 98 and up camaro. But with what your trying to do get the black ZR1's but get the rear 11" wide. Thats something ive always wanted to do. A car that Ive been wanting to buy has 11" black zr1's on the rear and **** it looks good.

I like the idea of the 11" rears, but the tires are more expensive then, and then you can't rotate your tires.. I don't like that idea that much.
