Right now on my car there are three 15x6 Eagle Alloy TT's, and one American Racing TT. From a distance you can't tell but up close it looks terrible. The AR wheel has the screw on center cap where the EA has the pop on one and the mismatched wheel is driving me insane.

Now I know you can put a 15x8 wheel on the back, but would a 15x10 AR TT2 be too much? The car won't be at the track much at most a couple passes, it's mainly just for that look. Does anyone know where I can still find the original Eagle Alloy TT's with the pop on caps or have they all pretty much gone to the style like the 211 wheels?

Basically if you were in my situation what would you do?
 
I had a set of the early 211s, liked them because they didn't have the screw on caps, which IMO are ugly. I see that eagle went to them a few years ago...I suppose to look more like the Ars.

Damaged one, but had it repaired by a local wheel shop...might see if they can source a used wheel/center and rehoop it to 15x6 for you. When aluminum went way up last time, most places ditched any damaged stuff they had, though.

Guess you could buy another matching AR TTII and run those on one side, and the Eagles on the other...
