honestly man i like those wheels, just not the way they look on your car right now, i think to pull it off youd have to lower the car to give it a better stance, the wheels would flow better with the rest of the car.
Not a fan of the TT rims...there too over used and seems like everyone has them. Also not a fan of bright crome. A little crome is good though to break up the color. Then again, it doesn't really matter what we think...it's your car and it's what you like and want for your car appearance wise.

I like the TT style wheels also.. I have somthing similar to TT on my car. But i agree with pearl_iroc probably just need to be lowered to give it a better stance.
I like the Torque Thrusts, I vote keep them. I do however agree that a little bit of lowering will set them off right. A set of $200 spring are a lot cheaper than new wheels.
BTW, Torque Thrusts are polished aluminum, not chrome. You could have them re-finished any way you would want; painted, brushed, polished, whatever suits you. I wouldn't change them personally, but just an idea for a different look: get the spokes painted black or dark grey, and keep the rim (lip) as polished as possible. That might give it a nice and different look, similar to the Torque Thrust "d".
I lowered the rear 1 1/4 inches today and it looks great. I think that it made me decide to keep the wheels............. either way it was fun to yard the "whatever" hotchkis springs and cut a coil and a half away....... what a lovely spark show!!!!!!! I'll post pictures later.
