Yeah...that blue with the 16's looks good. The trouble with 16's is that you might have trouble getting the tires you want. I think they are getting rare. Everything is getting bigger and bigger.

Torq Thruster II
I just purchased my 16" TT II,
not on the car yet but my rolling frame is looking pretty sharp !
I too like the 16" and the look i am running 235 x 16 x 60
I wanted to make sure these would fit when I but the body back on !

I was thinking about Torque Thrust 2's, but then I saw some of the newer wheels that have a smoother lip between the bead and spokes. The Torque Thrust 2's have more edges compared to the 4 wheels I was choosing from in this thread:
Which of these four 18x8 chrome wheels do you like best?
I wanted 18" wheels because of the large variety of tires to choose from. The tire selection for 15" and 16" wheels is quite limited. There are a few more choices for 17" wheels but not many.
I chose the BOSS 338's but with gray spokes and polished lip instead of chrome for more of a muscle look:
255/45's on 18x8 w/4.5" backspace are on - pics
