Well I've been trying to find a set of wheels that would really set of the look of my TTA. I'm having a hard time choosing something because of the boxy lines of the car and just the way the car looks with the original wheels, plus there aren't too many people who get wheels for 3rd gens outside of TT2s or something along those lines.

I'd like to stick to a snowflake type wheel and have them powdercoated gold in the center like the stock wheels to stick with the gold and white theme of the TTAs. I'm looking at either a 17" or 18" all the way around, not staggered. I'm not positive if I want a stepped or reversed lip, I love the look of the reversed but I think it might not go with the car very well. Anyone have some suggestions on what they think might look good? It's going to be a little while until I order them but I like to plan ahead.

Here's a couple pictures of the car, it's been lowered about an inch since these pictures:

The best wheels I have found that I like so far are these Jlines, but I'd prefer to have the bolts on the inside like the FM5s:

and a gold chrome reversed lip of the same wheel

Another option that I have is that I have these Epsilon wheels that were made for a special package on the C4 vettes. They're the exact same design as my stock GTA wheels, but in a 17" 3-piece form. Only problem is the offset is way off so I would need to either run spacers or get new hoops made. I think the look horrible with spacers since they have practically no lip to them, so I would only be willing to get new hoops made. Here are some pictures on another third gen:

Again, I'm open for any suggestions just having a hard time finding the right wheels.

thanks for the suggestions. I guess I want something that will just make the car stand out more. There's 1550 TTAs, and just about all of them are completely stock appearing.

The interpretation of the classic snowflake wheel on Project Empty Nest are awesome. And the YearOne interpretation of the snowflakes is equally sweet and would look great on a gen3 car IMO.

There's a list of dealers on the website http://www.jlinewheels.com/dealers.html You can also get the pricing on there. I think all of them are normally custom order. One of my problems with going with them is that I have never seen any, and I'd like to see atleast one example of their wheels in person. My friend who is big into 240s and drifting said that they're pretty big in that scene and that they're supposed to be really high quality.
