I agree with the TTIIs. I have a black car and like that style. I don't have them on my car, I'm still fighting the wallet and so I will have to stick with 15's for another year. Good luck and make sure you post your pics when you get your choice wheel on the ride.

Torqlite Torqlite Torqlite! They look like they were made for our Fbodies, plus everybody and their brother has Torque Thrusts. Wheels are about the last thing on my list, but when the time comes, I'm going for the Torqlites.

Re: Cant decide rims please help...
Please not TT2s... God Im tired of this wheel. I dont know why people put them on 3rd gens, they dont even flow with the lines of the car. The wheel is all curved up and third gen lines are straight and angular. They belong on older muscle cars.

I like the TT2's better but they just dont GO with that car. The torque lights would look better i think. I'd really have to see pics of them next to the car to really decide

Re: Cant decide rims please help...
TT2s with grey centers are my favorite.There is a 3rd gen on mautofied that has TT2s and air ride looks killer.

I feel stupid asking this question but who makes torqflites?

Re: Cant decide rims please help...
well it depends on that your car is setup for drag then torque small rim with a nice LARGE tire for the bad @ss look. But for a everyone has a set look or a hey I want to be a mustang then the TT2.
But if the drag race look is what you go for then I would do the MT wheel. Way nicer.

Re: Cant decide rims please help...
American racing makes the Torqlite for anyone who wasnt sure
As for the setup on my car it will be mainly street however I am setting up the suspension for autocross so I can bring it to milwaukee on the weekends and I would like it to look nice so maybe I can compete in a few shows and maybe win a few

Re: Cant decide rims please help...
TT2's are so overplayed I'm starting to see them around where I live, which is bad.
I vote torqlite. That GTA looks amazing.
...they come in 18"? If so, go that route.

Re: Cant decide rims please help...
I really want the torqlites, I love they look and I think they would be sick on my non-gfx formy.
The only issue is, #1 they are polished, and #2 they dont come 9" wide.
Whatever I do, I want to do the staggered thing - but not the fat tire on 15" bead lock rim look. I was gonna either do 17" all around, or 17" front and 18" rear, with slightly taller and wider tire in the back. Then lower it on the pro-kit springs.
