hey guys the time has come to finally address one of the only lacking areas on my chevelle, the rims. I know i want TTII's but i cannnot decide between the chrome ones or the grey spoke/polished lip ones.

wheels will be 17x7 front and 17x8 rear

anyway here are some photochops i had a buddy throw together for me

heres the grey ones

hmm...kinda tough. I'm leaning more towards the chrome.

They both look good though.

thanks for the input guys, currently the polls are @

grey:4
chrome:11ty billion

i myself am leaning towards the grey as i feel they have a much more nogstalgia feel to them. The whole rest of the car is setup old school (4spd, carb BBC) and the grey centers look like the old school ones without being as ugly as the originals.

either way itll be nice to finally use the global west tubular susp stuff to its potential with a nice set of bigger wheels.

dunno if i ever posted pics of the car on here so here are some others

:drool: Beautiful car!!!

I really like the chrome, but EVERYONE has them. Be a little different and go with the gray.

If you're definately set on that rim I'd say chrome man. I'm of the opinion the grey tt's are rims that belong solely on mustangs :)

If you remember the HRSS we built....we have a set of custom wheels leftover from that project. I figured since you have a chevelle you might be interested :)
Heres my quick photoshop....what do u think?

Thanks for the offer aloha, but i have my heart set on TTII's. Ever since the day we started this project i have wanted those rims on the car and the time haas finally come to purchase them.

Im really leanin towards the grey, should have the wheels within a few weeks baring and unforseen circumstance @ AR

you missed our ebay auction it ended yesterda... i just sold some brand new TTII's. they went for $300. That kinda hurts seeing we got them for $400 each....

I personally hate 17" or bigger wheels on a muscle car. What is wrong with the stock wheels?
