Torque Thrust 11 wheels question
I have read so many threads on tire sizes my mind is fried. I have made up my mind to stick with the 15 x 8 size wheel. I am looking for a vendor who has the Torque Thrust 11 wheel polished in 15 x 8 with 4 inch backspacing and 12mm off set and 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern for my 78 vette.
Anyone running this wheel and can give me a supplier? I am only interested in this size to keep the retro look. I have seen many pics of other sizes and they look killer but the 15 x 8 is for me.
I cant believe I am having trouble finding that size.

I have 15 x8 TT ll's with 4 inch BS but still had to use 1/8 inch spacers to clear brake calipers ... did not pay any extra charge, got grey with a polished rim which they said had to be custom ordered and would take 4 weeks...they were there in like 4 days...lol

OK I pulled the trigger and special ordered the black chrome wheels from Coys that look very similar to the TT2 wheel. Have to have them custom made for the 15 x 8 with the 4inch BS. $700 delivered with the lugs, valve stems and center caps. Will post pics when received and installed.

The Coys guys are cool to work with by my order ran for 9 months before I cancelled it.
Same thing, 6 weeks, then another 6 weeks. Order was wrong, they shipped the wrong ones, should by in this shipment and so on.

I have no reason to doubt his word. Its simple really if I don't have the wheels in the aloted time there will be a refund, no discussion. I take people at their word as I expect them to do the same with me.
