Default Question for Eddie 70!

Hey Edddie
I never thought I would stray from the stock Rallye wheels on my 73 coupe , but I love the wheels on your black vert (in fact, the pic by the pond has been my wallpaper for a few weks now)

Who makes them?
Thanks
Bob

Thanks for the compliment Bob. Glad you like the photo. Everyone is right. They are American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels. They are 15X8 with, I think, 4 inch backspacing. Standard BFG tires in 255/60/15.


For Corz.
