One of the drivers here is money.

The Foose package is a standard wheel. The TT's are a custom wheel. That drives about $400 increase for the TT's over the Foose. Foose is also chrome.

Ok,dont want to ruffle any feathers,but i would stay away from chrome or polished ,unless you want to polish and shine all the time.polished aluminum is the worst to take care of,a nightmare to keep shiny. I have had all of them,got tired of spending alot of the day polishing and waxing them.trust me ,you will regret it ,if you go chrome or polished aluminum. If you have a climate controlled garage ,then you might be ok.
