American Racing Wheels

I went to a car show yesterday and there was an 88" GTA and it had 17" American Racing Torque Thrust wheels on it. The offset was perfect and the tires were great. Problem is I couldn't find the owner to ask them where they got the wheels and what the offset was. I can't for the life of me find these wheels for sale any where. Are they still made? The top of the tire was almost flush with the outside of the wheel well. I would love to find a set of 18" with that offset but I don't know where to look.

Re: American Racing Wheels

a 18x8 with 4.5" of BS will sit the wheel about a half inch in from the side of the car with a 245/40/18, this is also 0 offset.

4" of BS would make it flush, but id much rather see it in a little than flush.

I dont know what width you are looking for but you can add subtract from here.

here is a 18x8 with 4.5" of bs, is this the wheel you want? if not search around summit its there. You can go wider if you want, this is just a common size.
