What would you guys....
think about my car if I changed the rims? I know most of you don't like the rims that are currently on my car. I am thinking about going w/ a set of 17" American Racing TT2's.

Re: What would you guys....
car looks really good. i kinda like the rims you have now, but i can think of a lot of others that would make it look better. maybe loose the door mouldings if you dont mind.

normally those wheels are a joke on third gens, but they totally flow with that car and the white lettered tires. i think the car looks really great man, the hood looks nice too. geeze normally i dislike that hood too. your car is an exception
it has an 80's look now (nothing wrong with that)...if you change the wheels to something like TTII, i would say color match the side trim. the hood and the blue gfx might look awkward too if u change the wheels

Re: What would you guys....
i dont think you should go with TT2s...sorry they've become somewhat frequent with third gens...i would attempt to find another 5 spoke pattern to go with
but def ditch the wheels you have on there

keep the rims you have on man.
Like previously stated, everyone and their mother has the tt2s. They go great with your ride. I like things that are different,....and they look good.
I vote keep em.

Re: What would you guys....
if u go 17" u will loose some muscle car looks, no more white letter tires and and 15" wheels, but 17" is most defenitly nice because these cars are more sporty then muscle, but if i were u and put 17" i would probably paint the gfx white, loose the side moldings and ditch the cowl hood to give the car a slicker look, be careful if u change ur mags u will loose the look u like and already have, beleive it or not but mags can make or brake ur car and u've defenetly pulled of those ugly rims on ur car they really suit it well, i like ur car because it original, u should stick with ur mags intill ur ready to completly change ur car's look... my opinion

Re: What would you guys....
I am actually looking at putting the car up for sale in the next month or so. I am trying to decide if its worth trying to put a new set of wheels on it first. I do really wish I could just sell it the way it sets. Thanks for the comments guys keep um coming!

Re: What would you guys....
It will be hard to get rid of considering the fact it was my first car ( bought it when I was 15). It will be going on almost ten years of owning it this sept. Thanks for all the words and keep them coming. If ya know anyone interested let me know!

Still, kid & house are a worthy reason to sell at least....
I'm with the others. I normally don't like those wheels, hood, or white letter tires, but your car pulls it all together into one tough looking package.

Re: What would you guys....
Imusually hate those rims that you have on there right now but for some reason they look good on that, but I still think it would look much better with differnt rims
