Wheels - help me decide...
I'm planning to get 10 inch wide rims... Right now I have a 4 Centerline AutoDrags 15 x 8.5 on my 68... I also have a set (2) of 15 x 8 Torq Thrust II's with my Drag Radials.. Now here are my options:
1) Sell my 4 Centerlines and get 2 more 15 x 10 TT2's and run the 15 x 8's in front and the 15 x 10 at the rear
2) Sell my 2 TT2's, 2 of the Centerlines and get 2 15 x 10.5 Centerlines... and run 15x8.5 Centerlines in front and 15x10.5 Centerlines at the rear...
I've already decided what tires I'm going to use... I will use BFG Drag Radials 325/50R15 at the rear and my current BFG Radial 255/60R15 TA's in front...
So what should I do??

Re: Wheels - help me decide... (GrandSportC3)
This question is not really fair for me to answer. I have wanted a set of TTII for so long now. I just gotta get my car finished before putting a set on though.
Cool wheels and a crappy looking car :crazy:

Olivier - If you decide to sell the TT's with the drag radials, please give me a shout. I am looking for exactly that setup.

The TT2 look sharper in my opinion. Although they might be a bit heavier.
Either way it won't change that you have an awesome car!

You are right... the TT2's are approx. 2 - 3 lbs/rim heavier...

Re: Wheels - help me decide... (Mystery Machine)
Would 8-12 lbs make a big enough difference at the track?
BTW - Where is the best place to pick up a set of the TT2 rims? Price-wise?

Hmmm - no selection for rally wheels ?
I'm not big on aftermarket wheels, but I must say that the TTIIs look great !!
However, in order for them to look really good, all the suspension and brake
components behind them should be clean and painted.
Done right, the TTIIs will show very nicely on your GSC3.

I think the TTII's look like they were made for C3's :yesnod:
:iagree: TTII's are cool :cool: :cool: :cheers:

Re: Wheels - help me decide... (GrandSportC3)
Oliver I might be interested in those Center lines. We might even be able to work a deal concerning the 3.55 Rearend I have if it turns out you need a replacement rearend.
Keep me in mind.
