I think they all look good, but yeah the TT2s look best to me. Even over the Vette ones.

You definately can't go wrong with the GTA wheel or the TT2. Not to sound biased, but I do favor the GTA wheel.

The GTA wheel makes your car look beautiful, but the TT2s make your car look mean. If you want 17's or any rim wider than 8," then TT2s would be a better choice

I've been really wanting to find out how good a set of black GTA's would look on my IROC...versus the 17x8, and 17x9.5's that are on the car now. If anyone could photoshop some black GTA wheels in, I would be VERY grateful.

And, if anyone is interested, I would trade my wheels and tires STRAIGHT UP for a nice set of GTA wheels ( gold or black, I can paint 'em ) and decent tires...or rims and some cash maybe. My rims have a some curb marks, and one ding, but are in good shape. The rear tires are BRAND NEW BFG G FORCE KDWS ( $150 a pop ). The Rims are Eagle 201's.


Anyway, some photoshop help would be APPRECIATED...

Here's the pic

they all look good. The cross lace look good, but might be better on a solid color car.

The tt2's look mean on the car, and the last vette wheels look real clean and nice.

Nice car by the way.

They all look good...... I hate picking rims, but i also think the tt2's look best.

Some advice, break out the burn tool in PS and shadow the brighter wheels a little, Some of them don't look quite right because of the lighting (1,3,4 IMHO)

Thanks........

Dammit, they do look pretty good against that red don't they.

Okay...I may have to find some "beater" wheels and put mine on Ebay.....



Thanks Again

Who can't believe what nice GTA wheels go for, since Classic Industries has 'em new for $600 for the set...

I missed a set for $150 last Winter, and I'm kicking myself now.
