Wheels?

Ive been thinking about getting a new set of wheels lately but Im not sure what I want to get for my car. I was thinking about the black GTA wheels or something like that. However I do like the looks of the TT2s but not sure how they would look on my car. I would like to see some pics of it phototshoped I guess to help me decide what Im going to do, thank you in advance for the help.

YES it does.

Hey steve, would you mind, shrinkin your sig pic just slightly, mainly just the width, it causes the screen to run over , so people have to scroll back and forth to read text. thanks.

I think the black GTA rims would be a little too much black and red combo on the outside.....

I say the TT2's......they look good......

17's are what I'm going for, 17X9.5 in the rear and 17X8 in the front..I'll probably have about $2000.00 in rims and tires...but..they would look great!
