what to get.....

I wanna get some 17's for my car, but i can't decide which. I'm really diggin' the torq thrust II's but i'm not sure. I kinda like the 5-spokes. Anyone have some pics of 82-84 TA's with 17's? Here's a pic of my car if anyone wants to photoshop some wheels on it.

Im thinking about selling my TTII's to get a set of firehawks. I think the firehawks would looks awesome with my grey gfx.

I dont thing there is any backspacing options with those wheels. They are made for a thirdgen so they should fit perfect.

my wife bought em for me last year for Valentine's Day...

they fit perfect...

they only come in one size 17x9.5 i beleive they have 4" backspacing...

slp sends all the hardware with the wheels, front requires .25" spacers and countersunk acorn style lugnuts (supplied by slp)...

i have 275-40-17s all around... bought the tires for $200 practically brand new... got em force balaced for free (thanks to the impala ss show)...

i think the wheels look perfect on the 84... and i hope to have pics of them on my new acquisition(84 firebird, lg4/auto) after the 1st of the year...

anyway, good luck with your search for wheels...

later,
Chris
