tire/wheel combo

Stock hubcaps and steel wheels, oh yeah. I still haven't figured out which way I want to go yet, maybe when my antenna figures out which way to go too.
But I was actually dreaming and looking around today. Tire Rack has a sale on Torque Thrusts D's right now, not sure about the II's.
Remicks, except for the vinyl top, same car, here's how it'll look with 1" lowering springs/Shelby 1" drop and mideye leafs. I plan to paint the spokes matte/satin black to match my hood when I repaint. They are TTD's 15X7 and the stock paint looks too much like primer gray to me. I'm not using any chrome on the engine/car other than what was original so I didn't go with the chrome TT's.
I am going for a TransAm Series theme so I wanted tires that looked fat and filled the wheel well. Although the TTD's seem common, I see more 17" common rims at cruise in's and shows now than 14 or 15" rims. There is still a good selection of 15" tires available (I'm sure 14" is much less) and I can always get slicks in the size I need!

Here is a chop Mustangemd19 was nice enough to do for me with the vinyl removed with the TT D's added.
