Default Need some help with wheel decision..

My Trans Am is at DSE for their new 2gen mini tub, frame connectors ect. I need to decide what wheels to get. It has TT2's on it now and since I have Fikse FM5s on the Camaro and Mustang, I want something different?? Or should I stay with TT2?

Hi S.W.

Love your second gen T/A. Is it the same one that had grey spokes a while back? Don't get me wrong I love a polished wheel but personally I think a two toned wheel would look awesome on your car. Polished lip, painted or powder coated center etc. Just my 2 cents.

I love the way your car looks with the 843r's, I have the same ones on my ZO6 in 19/20's..

Hello SW,
I think you have a great eye for the correct set of rims...

I would go with
1. HRE 847R
2. HRE 844R
3. Fikse Profil 10

Keep the pics coming

How about 843's, not the 843r.... give it a bit of old school look with a traditional lip but a modern feel with the wheel center design.
