Default Summit Legend 5 Wheels.

Iv'e been looking at the Summit Legend 5 Wheels. They resemble Tork Thrust II but are somewhat cheaper. With all the money I stuck into the engine I'm kinda cuttin a few corners. My question is, does anybody have these wheels and what fo you think of them? Oh, and do you have any pics of them on a C3. Thanks alot.

Here you go... I bought these about a year ago and so far they are holding up well.
They fit perfect and did not require any modifications.

These are the 15 X 8 size.

In my opinion they are a great deal, and I don't think they have raised the price since I bought mine last year..

Yeah what a deal, $149 for 15x8's. They do look nice and are very similar to Tork ThrustII's. Thanks again.
