Torque thrust D pictures
Hey guys,
I need some pics from anyone who is running Torque thrust D rims to help me make my decision between Torque thrust D and Torque thrust II
rims. (they will be 8 x15 255/60R15 in the rear and 8 x 15 225/70R15 in the front). Thanks!

Guys -
American Racing Wheels has always made these wheels and continues to do so.
http://www.americanracing.com/wheels....asp?section=V
They have a "Visualization" tool that used to show C3's. I just tried it out today and for some reason it only goes back to the 1999 model year. Must be a glitch of some kind. In the past I was able to view my color of '72 C3 with whatever wheels/sizes they offered.
Check out the TTO - Torque Thrust Original. Suh-weet!

ARE Torq Thrust D's do not clear the C3 brake caliper. You need to use a spacer which in most circles is bad news.
ARE Torq Thrust IIs clear the brake caliper. Hence the huge bias towards these rims.

However, I prefer TTII's on the C-3 for appearance (and size choices) sake. And if you go with 17 inch wheels, IMO you don't need rack & pinion steering. It improves C-3 handling that much.
