if you buy any of the vette wheels listed.

check out tomzwheels. (ls1tech sponsor)

he has great prices and great buyer feedback

Plus if you go with vette, wheels go Black... black wheels look the best.

i get compliments all the time for my TT2 black

dude you have a black car...

go with black or anthracite colored wheels. Your car will look mean.

then again if you like the bling/pimp look of chrome, go chrome. LOL

anthracite is a darker metallic silver. I think it looks better then just a silver OEM pain

My first choice would be to save the cash and get torque thrust IIs. 17x9 or 9.5 in the front adn 17x11 in the rear. Second would be the C5's. I wouldnt even consider the others.

i could do that but my car is going to be on jackstands until I get some more wheels...thats kind of why I was on such a tight budget..hopefully the guy will be coming to pick them up soon

**blackhawk01** · 10-30-2007, 04:27 PM

i might have a girl whos going to hook me up with some black Torque Thrust M's for around 800 out the door with all 4 of them...sound like a good deal?

**blackhawk01** · 10-30-2007, 04:31 PM

Okay here is the deal..black Torque Thrust M's out the door mount and balance for $860

**ArcticZ06** · 10-30-2007, 05:16 PM

Doesnt sound too bad. Keep in mind you can get em new for about 900.

**blackhawk01** · 10-30-2007, 05:19 PM

These are new, i met this girl who works at a performance shop whos going to get them for me from american racing...i duno..im so indecisive..I think black on black would look good

**blackhawk01** · 10-30-2007, 05:20 PM

double post...

**LS1FirehawkWS6** · 10-30-2007, 05:26 PM

If you need wheels, I have my '98 Trans-Am stock take-off's with brand new Sumitomo rubber on them. Tires literally have 38miles on them. Tires cost $850 alone. I'd like to get $650 for the wheels and tires.

**blackhawk01** · 10-30-2007, 06:04 PM

awh its alright man, i think im just going to go with the black TTM's..i think I will be happy with them

**cheetoh** · 10-31-2007, 03:56 AM

I think the Black TTM's will look great!! I am thinking of Getting the same thing.

**ibanez7** · 10-31-2007, 06:30 AM

I paid $1200 for American racing Torque thrust II M and Nitto DRs.

The wheels where $600 and the tires where $600.
I went to Discount tire and asked if they could price match and they did!!!

front
17x9 nitto 275

back
17x11 nitto DR 315

I have pics if anyone would like to see them!
