Re: Torq Thrust II Wheels (dmalhi1)
If you look at the American Racing Wheel website (http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/wheels.asp?section=Vintage)
the "D" only go to 16". The Chrome II's go to 17" and have applications for Vettes. Not sure which one you wanted but it's a start.
It figures, the ones I really like aren't available.
Good luck :seeya

Re: Torq Thrust II Wheels (dmalhi1)
I'm sure they come in every size. I went to a car show in Louisville a week or two ago, EVERYTHING had Torque Thrust wheels. I think they look good on like 1 car in the world, a classic hot rod of some sort. Not on EVERYTHING. Just my humble opinion, but I hate it when people are unique, just like everybody else.

For the record, they don't look just like TT II's, unless all 5 spoke wheels look the same. :)

I've seen pics of Vettes with TT2's... but I never saw one on the street until I got them for my black vette.

I have never seen any other Vette, anywhere, with the same wheels I have. :D

I don't care how much you like a wheel, when you put it on everything the appeal is lost. Looks like another fool who spent all of this money to make his car look so special and different, then put the same boring wheels on it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to flame anybody. Everybody has different tastes, so it doesn't matter what I think at all. It's just that around here people put Torq Thrust's on everything, and it just gets old.

That was one pretty car! :( So, are you keeping the GS, or are you going to go "whacko" modding another C4? :D

To each his own. I like 'em. :D
Best price I found was at Sears when on sale. Expect to pay $250 to $290 per wheel, depending on where you buy and the deal you get.

I'm keeping the GS, won't mod it. Right now I'm thinking about getting another black 96 car (keeping the GS too) this time an LT1 auto, to make into a HP monster....

I think the TTII's look much better on the earlier C4 than the 91+ cars. Just my opinion though. In fact - I think that TTII and similar looks better than ZR1 repro's on those cars.
