Need some advice for my poor car!

I went to order a set of ROH Snypers today and the guy said there are absolutly no more left at any of his contacts. However I can get a set ot TT2's for a good deal instead. Should i go for it? I'm just worried that my car is gunna look goofy with those rims. What do you think of a Thirdgen T/A with TT2's. I don't know what to do....

i love the torque thrust 2s...they look sweet. i have scene picks of them on 3rd gens and i love them. i wanted to get some for my car but they were way to expensive. i went the cheaper 15 inch outlaw 2s. i would say get the TT 2s

TT 2s dont do it. before you buy them take a trip out a local car show and see how many other cars have them too. the last 3 shows i have been at i have see 5 or more cars with then on. at one time i also wanted them in till i seen how many other people had them. if you want to be just like all the other cars go for it.

Make a post on the apperance board or do a search and see how many time it comes up. Personaly i would never get them just because of the # of other people with them.

the Snypers i like alot better. if it was me i would hold out until i could find some.

just my .02
your money buy what you like

dude,

go to the local tire shop and get a list of what rims fit your car..

you NEED to get something that nobody else has, ie not the torques OR the roh's..you have to get something that is original...i have no clue what comes to mind but just look around..youll find something that you like...and its totally up to you!!! REMEMBER THAT!!

I love the TTII's but they're kinda pricey. Especially compared to ROHs. My price for 17" Snypers is $1100 (give or take a couple bucks. And I think TTII's are closer to $2000, arent they?

Well guy's suggest something for me or something. I got a retardedly clean car, mint paint, engine bay redone and just waiting on the 406ci to get rebuilt. I really need some sweet rims for this beast. I don't care if they are Really "original" or not. I just want some thing that look really good with my car.

I'm hurtin here. It's pretty bad when you're uptight and real worried about how the final product is gunna look!

This is where photo"chop" comes into play.. if you can take the best resolution pic of your car then just photo chop the various rims on it till you find something more or less to your liking.

That would save me a bundle of cash.

Maybe if I could see how that would look?

If you want a cheap alternative to TT11's. Eagle model# 211 is the identical rim, for 17x8" polished the were like $230 or 240 a wheels at Tire World in Brampton.

I personally, if I had the money to throw around would take Simmons wheels over tt11s any day. I dont know the price difference though
