I have TT's on my car and have been considering hunting down some Rally Wheels.

I'd stick with the Rally Rims.

Very nice car by the way.

i think your car is gorgeous with the rallys, but if it's time for a change, you can't go wrong with ttll's on a C3... but everyone has them

Thanks for you coments on my Corvette. It is rather funny because it is your Corvette that knock my socks off when I saw it. It beautiful.

And that's the reason I am considering the TTs.

What size wheels and tires are you running.

I think Rally's can't be beat with stock size tire. If you go with TTII's I think you should go with at least 17's. 15" TTII's just lack that cool factor IMO.

I'd keep a set of both and swap them out, I like them both. I have a buddy that does exactly that.

I'm glad you posted this, now I know what my red 68 vert will look like with sidepipes, stock wheels and tt's

You can't go wrong with either one, pick the one you like best.

i agree with some of the others, tt2's look great in large diameter's but with the stock size, the rally's look better, and I pretty much hate rally wheels, but theres something about 15 in. tt2's that looks like they should only be on old gasser type muscle cars

15" TTII's are just too small IMHO I like 17" (obviously, I own 3 sets )

I have the TTII's on mine that are 15 inch. I had rallies on mine but they did nothing for me. Its all personal, whatever flips your switch.

TTII's suit my eye better but the car looks great with either.
