I dont think there is a lot of difference in the smoothie 2 rims compared to the TT2 rims. If there isnt a correct size offered in the smootie 2 for our car then Id get the TT2 wheels. There a lot cheaper too.

Well, the smoothie 2 rims have a different lip, valve stem placement and the main body (5 spokes) has a more sharp line down the center of each spoke. I think the Original smoothie rims looks a lot like the TT2 rims though.

I know this is a bit off subject but I really like the color of your car and I was also wondering if you took the nose emblem off or did you get a front end with no emblem or something?

Best looking rims on a thirdgen are the 10 spoke SS rims IMO. I just dont like spacers so I didnt get them.

these are a 18x9.5 vette wheels front and rear with 2.25 adapters. they have 275/35/18 nitto 555s on them. i put these on just to see what it would look like and how they would fit. it does not rub and they sit in the wheel well perfectly.

I like that deep offset of that wheel. How far past the rear quarters to they stick out?

I might be able to help since that is my car and I had them made by Fikse back in 1999. They are a one off set of Fikse FM/5's custom made for my car. They measure 17x9.5 front and 17x10.5 rear. I currently have Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 275/40/17 fronts and 315/35/17 rears on the car and I swap out rear tires with Nitto Drag radials on occasion.

No offense, but I think they look better on my IROC.



Thats the first bird I have seen with them however.

It's weird seeing my car with different wheels. I did a double take.

C6 wheels look good on a C6, I'm not impressed with them on most other cars. There are some great looking wheels in this thread though. Great thread.
