https://www.pro-touring.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=114922&stc=1Does anyone have an opinion on which wheels would complete my car the best? I'm struggling to decide between these three styles and would appreciate any input.

I like the blackouts or the silver rim/black spokes best. If you're not shaving door handles (missing in render), I'd let them pick up on the wheel color.

I like the first pic, unless you are going for a more sinister look then I would pick the second.

#1 as well...what diameter are you looking at? 18's? Have you given any thought towards performance brake fitment? TTII's are notoriously poor in that regard, but the A/R custom shop can improve them if you know what you want to run with respect to brakes.

I currently have the AC Delco brakes that the previous owner put on them. I currently plan to only drive on the street for now, so I'm gonna wait on big brake kits. Should I plan ahead for them though? My dream is to have a set of rushforth or Boze, but I have a hard time dishing out that kind of money right now with me being in college.

I'm always a fan of planning ahead, however if you intend to swap out the wheels in the future anyway, then all your current wheels have to do is clear the current brakes. That said, if you think you may want to upgrade at least the front brakes in the future for the performance benefits without the need to change the wheels, then I would probably run them through the A/R Custom Shop and get them clearanced for larger brake fitments for the additional $30 to $40 per wheel.

Thanks so much for the input! Really helpful

#1. #3 would be my second choice, but it's got too bright compared to the rest of the car. #2... I'm just not a fan of all black. #1 gives a nice break to the darkness, and adds some detail.

Maybe it's the rendering, but did you extend/lower the wheel well arches?

No it's just the software. The car is dropped very low in the rendering
