    which rims?!?!?

    Ok ive got 18" c5s right now and i love them but Tires cost waaaaaaay too much for me and i just want something different i guess.. I am going to go with 17" wheels... so whatever wheel, it has to be available in 17" and also, i think im going to go with chrome. no polished wheels!!

    I am thinking about chrome 17" C6's or chrome 17" ZR1s, what do u guys think?

    im going to get wider tires so they will hav a bit of a lip on them. i wil be selling my current rims so if anyone is interested. once i get my new rims these ones will go into the boxes t be shipped off. [img]smile.gif[/img] ok post away thanks all!

        Does American Racing offer their TT2's in chrome? All I can find are polished. Only thing in chrome I could find that are close to the TT2's are 17" wheels made by Replica wheels at TireRack.com

              Hey Dark I am definitley interested in those wheels! Can you send me some pics at theman010@msn.com Ive already seen your car domain pics but can you send me some up close of each wheel? Any damage on them? How long have you had them? And most importantly how much do you want for the set???

                      ok here are the pix of my wheels on cardomain, they are very dirty mind you, i garuntee that any blemishes u might see are just dirt and stuff, i saw some lines that looked like cracks but they were just dirt and water that had ben spun out from the centrifugal(spelling?) force of the wheel.. like i said they will be cleaned up all nice and pretty before shipping.. and the tires as you can see are in great shape with quite a bit of tread left.. im putting these in the for sale forum incase u dont want them. but youve got first dibs!
