Opinions on TT2's on my car...

Heres a pic of my car with them. Compare it to without them in the sig pic.

I know everyone either has them or wants them, but I think if I had the extra cash I would get a set.

What do you think? Do they compare even to polished IROCs?

Get the TT2's and polish your IROC's while they're off. Alternate.

As much as I love the TT2's, I'm an even bigger fan of the IROC wheels. But the above idea is a good one.

I like the TT's best when they are 17." You got my vote for them.

Yup, still like the IROC rims more, but TT2's are a pretty good looking rim.

Nothing has ever eclipsed the IROC rim. It is awesome and even better you are keeping things original! TTII's would be my definite 2nd choice though

I love the TT2s, but if money is an issue, you can polish your wheels for under $100 and have them look just as good.

To me, the polished IROC rims would look better, but only in the 17 or 18" aftermarket ones. The polished TT2's just look wrong to me. They need the dark gray centers instead IMHO.

TT2s!!!

Polished IROCs look good but go for the 17" TT2s. And yeah, keep the IROCs and alternate!

I think Irocs look great with the 17 in. tt2s and I would get a set, but I like to keep my Iroc original looking from the outside!

I can't stand the way TTIIs look on a thirdgen camaro. A curvy wheel like that on a square car just looks wrong.

For some reason, I don't mind them on third gen birds though.

I think TTIIs look best on 60's and 70's muscle cars that have the curves to match the wheels.

On thirdgens I prefer 5 spoke styles like the Fikse FM/5 or Coddington rodder 5's.... or even the aftermarket IROC wheels.

That's funny. I'm just the opposite. I think that photoshop pic above with the blue IROC and TT2's looks killer!

Do IT!
