well this place is full of top notch renderers.. ha

The rims that will be going on her are not our dream rims. Though we love TT2's and originally wanted them, they are so common on musclecars these days we decided to try something different. I attained some Eagle 212's (yeah, i know i know) for next to nothing and feel with some slight modifications they will work well....
They are 17X8 with 245/45/17 up front and 18X9.5 with 305/45/18 out back.

Heres what i'm thinkin.... (again, opinions are welcomed)

Paint the recessed sections dark grey or a matching blue, add black lugs, and plain center caps with the late60's-early70's Oldsmobile emblem CNC'ed on them.

Pics.... Please forgive the crappy "rendering"

I think I like the look of the black better than the blue but not sure how much better than leaving it chrome.
