If you are referring to the Torque Thrust II's, yes, a few people have them on their thirdgens.

Try doing a search for "TTII", "Torque Thrust II" or "Torque Thrust"

Good luck

I am interested in these rims too, I did a search as suggested and got nothing. Most of them only come in 15" though.

You can get Torque Thrust II's in 15, 16, 17, and 18 inch sizes.

Here is my car with a set of 16x8 polished American Racing TTII's.

Now my car also has a unpainted white cervini cowl...I need money for paint!

black GTA with chrome looks very nice, red camaro too. I dont think the grey ones come in 16" though dude. They shiny chrome ones do. I like the looks of the grey ones too but have only seen them in 15" in jegs catalog at least

I have looked several places, and only found 15's, I hope this just isn't a typo on American Racing's website

yea, thats what I mean, I hope it's not just a typo, because I have never seen 16 inch TorqThrust D's on any other website.

I'm going to call American Racing and find out for sure, my tires (brand new) fit 16x8 wheels, and I don't want to down size to 15" wheels just to get the TorqThrustD's

Sorry I'm late ...





16 x 8 stock size. These are polished. If I remember correctly I spent $1070 on the rims, chrome lugs, chrome stems, chrome caps, mounted, blanced and all that jazz.

TT Ds even come in..eww..20" Go to this and click soft wheels online and then your what internet access you have.You can then pick the car you have(though limited as to what year and style).. color,ride height then the wheels...AR,Centerline,Enkei,Epic,Konig,Motegi,and Roja.This placce has other brands but that is all they have on their wheel selector.

Check out that website in previous message!

What a great website! With just a little bit of ingenuity and creativity, this tire company came up with a tool that can really help people decide what wheels look good on their car. Granted its not perfect, but it sure it nice. I really like the Centerline Star Style 74 for my 91 Formula. I saw some on a Mustang the other day. They are a 5 spoke type wheel but with a lot less open space. I asked for a quote on them. Cool, thanks again for that website

Not bad, I liked the first one better. The picture of the car was bigger and you could change the color of the car to your color.
Thanks, tho, cool

Just a tip....I ordered these a earlier this year and I was looking to get the best deal so I looked all over the net for a few days and found the lowest price. I then called Summit and gave the rep the link and he beat it by $5 a piece but also added free shipping.
