Another "RETRO" option on the menu

OK.

Here's my vintage '70's style American Torque Thrusts. Click on my signature to see a full view of them on the '5.

Enjoy.

I had them on my first car, a '66 Malibu. We called them 'Sausage Mags'.

Can you use 17x8 wheels on the rear if you have offset trailing arms?

Post some pics Jeff!

OOfxd,
The car is built on a SRIII tube chassis that uses C5 front suspension and a narrowed C4 rear. The offset on the C6 rim is different than the C5 so there was some additional work to get the OEM factory wheel to work vice repops. I really liked the style of the wheel and it's extremely lightweight....plus it was one of the only rims that would clear the massive 14" rotors and 6 piston calipers on all four corners. Here are some additional pics.
