Edelbrock 409's or TT2's?

Hey guys, I found a Car Craft mag from 2001 where they fixed an old Formula, total for the car and all the parts came to $5,500. Anyways, the rims they had on it were the Edelbrock 409's, and I was wondering what everyone thought of them? I know the majority of you like the TT2s, and these looks somewhat similar.

These pics are the best ones I could find.

I remember that article and I too thought those wheels looked great. Surprisingly that is the only thirdgen I've ever seen with those wheels. For another wheel that looks similar to the TT2's, check out the Coy's C5. I just got a set for my car and have no complaints. Excellent customer service as well as a very good price. Check them out.. Coy's Custom Wheel & Tire

I love the Edelbrock 409's. I'm pretty sure they aren't made anymore though. I have them on my 86 Camaro. If I get a change tonight, I will try to load a picture, or else look in the past threads from a couple of years ago.

I remember that article as well. It had a major influence on my final choice. I was already leaning that way when I saw that article. That sealed the deal for me. That's funny that you mention Coy's. That is where I got my Edelbrock 409's from. I have a set of them on my black '91 GTA. I like them a lot.
