I personally like the ROH Rims, they look the best as far as aftermarket.

I'll be putting Borbet "Design T" wheels on my car in about a month:



Personally, I dont see why everyone and their mother busts one about the TT II's. They look OK, but not compared to some of the other wheels that are out there, and everyone has em. Save a few extra bucks and be unique I do like the ROHs and ZR1's though. I was set on ZR1's till I saw the Borbets.

American Racing Torq-TThrust II
17 X 8 Polished IROC wheels

I opted for the IROC wheels, the TT II's were slightly out of my price range. I think that these 2 wheel styles are the nicest for a third gen without having to use adapters. I also like the new chrome 10 spoke SS wheels but adapters are needed for these wheels.

He's referring to the American Racing Torq Thrusts. They do look the best on a third gen IMO.

I like the stock 'sleeper' look myself. 16x8 IROCs.

personally, i like stock alloys, i like my 16"ers on the formula, use that extra money you can save on rims and spend it on some sweet tires.
