Sharp ride. Thers all kinds of choices.
Chrome zr1s 17x9 front 17x11 rear
TT2. Same size.
TTms 17x9 and rears I think are 17x10
How about some painted gray zr1s


Just depends on what you like.

Is brent frankers site still up? if not maybe ill make one.

I am normally always about bucking the trend, and ive been through about 10 sets of wheels. I am however partial to Z06 wheels on a t/a.

my boyd coddington smoothie II's looked sick on a board members t/a. ill post those pics when i get home.

Most important is your budget here. I know a set of ccw wheels for sale that are gorgeous. epending on that it really changes your options.

Then there are the "stickies" at the top of the "Wheels and Tires" forum topic listing.

I'm in the same boat as you, except I like the ram air 17" wheels, but want something different. When I've had some money, it has been easy to not buy wheels and buy performance parts instead. It doesn't help us that our cars stopped production 7 years ago.

Sidenote: more pics of that chick in the avatar?

I think the Budniks look hot, not sure about exact fitment. Quite a few of the "tuner" wheel sites are very vague when it comes to fitment. $425 each is strong in my book, but I guess you'll pay for something different that's well made.

Why put clothes on her? I like her just like that... In fact more pics of her to determine what wheels you need are in order.

just a heads up wider dosent mean stickier, a 275 et street radial on a stock wheel is gonna probably hook better then a 315 nitto drag tire on a 19 or so inch rim let alone a street tire but actually after looking at your sig your gonna have a fun time no matter what so good luck!

as for wheels i like the stockers.. im also kinda diggin those ruff 278s
