Wheels that are on it 17s. Id like to bring it down 2 inches and stagger wheel sizes with 19 in back and 18 in front. Id also like to put some wheels on it - I think the TT2s are well over played. But I have no idea what would look good on the car - Im open for suggestions.

This is the best pic I have until it arrives Saturday.

With a 2" drop and that staggered wheel size, a nice protouring look with something like this would look good

Although you can never go wrong with a classic 5 spoke design

(The second is what I plan to go with on my 67)
 
Yeah I love the forged wheels........not doing 20s and 18s though. I dont like that much of a different in size. I would go 20 and 19 but I havent seen it so not sure if 19s will fit in front.
 
If they had these in replica and dished for the rear Id buy them meow....

Wheels aren't dished and original pic had some sort of fisheye distortion on it, but quick-n-dirty as usual:

My thoughts:

Drop it a bit, nice air ride tech setup would be dope as fuck! That last wheel, not feeling it. That first one you posted would like incredible, the second one is more classy, and would again, look nice. Lost that exhaust setup, run it over the axle or to the axle and dump.

That car is begging for more low and more wheel and tire for those wheel wells.
 
The current exhaust set up makes me want to punch babies. I'll prolly go straight out the back to keep the noise down on the inside. Dont know how to terminate though - oval tips, intercooled borla, dunno......

Air Ride - future plan. Current plan is to be cheap as shit and just do spring in back and spring/speendols in front
 
Detriot Speed products...thats the only good suggestion. SRS, air ride tech shit is gay, and have to deal with relays, valves, tanks, and compressors. Plus compared to a get tubualr and coilover setup, its gonna walk away with ease.

If you wanna go marginally cheaper, but still pretty decnet performance the Hotchkis TVS work really nice. Full kits, sway bars, front and rear control arms, links, springs etc
