I have been toying with TT Ds, polished IIs, or Hopsters - maybe 16". The selection of 255/60-15 tires is shrinking.

My '80 looks pretty kinda' stock but isn't. It's lower than stock with composite mono springs front and back, "GM Performance Division" plates above the fender vents. Stock slot wheels were kinda' beat up by the POs.
I have polished TTIIs now.



I'll be selling the wheels and tires. I'm keeping the spinners. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza. Let me know if you are interested.

ragtag74,

They are 16x8 with 4" backspacing Torque Thrust D's. The tires are 255/50zr16's all around. Do rub slightly on front on a lock turn, but not bad.
