Default Pics of my new TTII wheels


Thanks to everyone who posted pics of their TTII's the other day, I picked up the new wheels and tires this morning and fitted them straight away. I went with 17's and had 255/50's fitted alround. Anyway here are the pics.





:cheers:

The 255's rub very slightly on full lock against the frame, but that is ONLY on full lock and normal friving conditions cause no problems at all. The feel of the car has greatlt inproved with the larger and wider wheels, these low profile tires make a real difference. I must say I love these wheels. :D

Very Nice. :cool:
How 'bout a pic close from the rear? I'd like to see how they compare to what I have.

Nice choice. :thumbs: I know those are quite popular but I think there are very few wheels just made for a C3. :yesnod:

I agree... The TTII's are my favorite wheels for C3's. Nothing compares to them on old Vettes. Sure, they're common and everybody has them, but for good reason! I'm saving up for my set... The Steeroids kit set me back pretty hard...

Wow the wheels look great on the black. Funny, I just picked up my set today, got them from a forum member. They are only 15's but they are going to be great. I have been wanting a set for a long time now. :thumbs:

That really looks good! I have to get a set when the current tires wear out.

Pauld,
Those look great. Awesome choice and they really shine against that black paint. :thumbs: What back spacing did you use 4 inch?

but went with 275/50/17 for the rear.
patsnitrovette,

Did you have to modify anything to go with the 275's on the back? What size rear rim 9.5?
