Re: american raicng torq thrust
yeah I have seen on the american racing website that you can get them custom made that is the only way to get them in 18" so I think I might get the 20" they are going on a 1999 with a 4" static drop.

Re: american raicng torq thrust
i just went through this a few months ago. American Racing doesn't have the tt2s in 18's. as for custom made, I don't know. An alternative is the Coy C5, I am actually ordering them tomorrow in flat black.

Re: american raicng torq thrust
those look good do you think that the torq thrust would look better in a 20" on a 4" drop compared to the 17"

Re: american raicng torq thrust
if they werent packed away for the winter id take a pic.. but you should see them now! i spent a good 2 hours polishing the BACK sides of the 17's then another hour polishing up the front sides.
 Also fixed the little dents on the one.. They look so sexy.  |

Re: american raicng torq thrust
ok so I went to the rim shop here in calgary that sells the american racing torq thrust here are the prices for 17" $260.00 and for 20" $360.00. To me the 20" rims are a good deal for that price but to everyone the 17"s would look best right on the 4" drop compared to 20"s.

Re: american raicng torq thrust
I bet you won't get better than that for 20s. When I was looking into them, I couldn't find them any cheaper than 400+. Wait til spring and go to your local swapmeets for 17s tho, I picked up my set for 750, no tax.

Re: american raicng torq thrust
according to our wheel tire faq, I'd say yes. PM NORCAL SS though, he's the guru of wheel tire fitment. I will say that i had 4.75 inch BS on the 18x8 and had no problems at all. I now have a 4.5 inch BS on my Coys and no problem at all. I'm bagged, so it if was going to rub, I would know.
