Are you confident with the spacing and the celarance for calipers and eb, etc...???
Have you seen these wheels on a Vette?
They look great.
I thought the TT2s can be ordered in ALL chrome too.???

I like most any chrome 5-spoke wheel. Be sure to post pics after installation. Should be sweet. :cool:

Re: Ordered my rims today..... (L48Shark)
What is all this I always here about "caliper clearance" on Torque Thrusts? Sixteen or seventeen inch rims have MORE clearance than 15" rims. Think about it. And rims that are 8" wide, no matter how tall, are stock width. So they need stock (4") off set. I don't know about other brands but Torque Thrust 2's just bolt on like any other wheel. Some people over think simple things too much. You know like a bigger diameter wheel is going to have LESS room than a smaller wheel. :D

Very sharp...they look like torque thrusts on steroids...I like it :cool: Can't wait to see them on the car :cheers:
PS About the tourqe thrust II caliper clearance...they will scrape your calipers a tiny amount...I had to space them about 1/18. The guy at NTB said they would fit fine...intellectual.
