Slightly OT: I read a comment on the Hot Rod mag. forum that the TTII's should be refered to as hot rod stock, anything else is a custom wheel.

17x8 TTII's with 4 inch backspacing on my car. You can see my car in the forum photos section along with other C3's with TTII's from 15 inch to 20 inch diameter.

I think what is important besides the wheel size is what the tire size is, the backspace & whether offset trailing arms are being used. I am in the market for a set of TT2's myself but can't decide whether I want to do 17x8 all around or 17x8 in the front & 18x9.5 in the rear. Next come the tire sizes & then finally the tire brands, way too many decisions.

If you guys could list that it would be most appreciated.
