If you're not sick of seeing TTIIs

they are one of my favorites... see my signiture.

They also look cool painted


Torque Thrust D are also cool


Boyd has some cool designs also:



Be sure to search the forum...this question gets asked almost monthly so there are many threads with some great ideas.

You can convert those to 1617,18",,..just have someone machine the centers out and weld on new rim halves (spun aluminium) could be costly but it can be done. I'd go w/ 18s because of the tire choises, 17 and 16 are a pita, especially 16.

That would be a little too expensive but here's a photoshop of what it would look like:

sadly GM did make 16" versions of those wheels as they were intended to go on the c4 but they dropped it and went w/ those ugly things that we all know what they look like. I have pics of c4 protos somewhere w/ the wheels in 16" ...needless to say they are awesome.
