TT2's can't argue with the thousands of other C3ers

I love TT's, but I have to say, on your car, the wagon wheels look better. I can't believe it, but they do.

The C5 wheels !!

Every other C3 has TT's, and almost all that went to 17's went with TTII's.

Please - be different, choose what you like, don't just follow the pack.
If you like the TTII's get them, if not, the C5 wheels look good or you could go get custom sized wheels made by most wheel makers.

I agree it's actually true. TT's look kind of wussy with your 80's "thicker" body/ground effects.. etc.
either way tho- its splitting hair in my op. they both look pretty nice. :chevy

:iagree: Even though I love TT's, somehow those C5 wheels look better with your ground effects...

But as said before, choose the wheels that YOU like... :cheers:

TT2's. But go with 16" so you have a little more meat under the wheel well.

I would have to vote for the TT's. Personally, I don't like swapping stuff from generation to generation. It's just an opinion though. Go with what really turns your crank. :thumbs:
