what do you guys think? personally they look infinitely better than the puke swirls that were on it previously.

now for wheel care...
Did these wheels come with a clear coat or anything? I can't find anywhere on the boxes or paperwork that says if they are. what should I do to them to keep them from getting pitted?



edit: I just realized this is in the wrong section. could a moderator be nice and move it to the show and shine section please? :)

Looks nice.:D

You'll fall in love w/ the 315's!:cool:

No, the wheels have no clear coat. You have to keep them polished otherwise they will dull up. I just bought the American Racing wheel polish and use that to keep mine looking nice.

I didn't notice where you live, but I live in NY where it snows in the winter, I kept my stock wheels for winter driving, otherwise the snow, sand, and salt would have the TT IIs looking like crap.

Well... OK :)

I think the wheels look pretty darn nice! (I have them on my 96SS too ;) ).

Might want to consider some lowering springs :)

if you've ever seen the roads this poor car has to navigate sometimes you would understand why I don't want to put lowering springs on it :)
however, it would look very cool, I agree with you on that one.

my car is parked for the most part during the winter, and I am keeping the stock wheels for drag radials and, if absolutely necessary, snow tires.

thanks for the info, these wheels gotta last a while!

whered you get your tt2's and how much were they?
they look nice and i was thinking about rims in the near future
