Torque Thrust II Wheels.
O.K. got the flame suit on. 
I have seen these on C2 , C3, And C4.
Am I the only one that thinks they would look great on a C5. ( Ready for Flame )
They have a series 405 that you can get a custom fit, so I would think you can get them for a C5.
But have not seen them on one yet.
The price is great also.
Well what you think ?

Agreed. The C5 needs a wheel with a sharper line like the Fikse FM5. *drool*

My .02, I debated for a long time about getting them, they are a great looking wheel. I think they'd provide a really nice retro but clean look. I may get them next, but opted for z's in the short term.

I've seen the "Torque Thrust II" wheels on a (blue) C5 and they looked good to me, but that's what I grew up with.
Many of the other after market wheels look to busy to me...to many angles, rivets, fake allens, over sized OD.

I like some of the new wheel but the price is nuts.
I wish I could see a picture of some on a C5. 17 in front 18 in rear.
I still will probably get them when I am ready for tires.
I agree Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm coming from 60's mustangs (restored a 68 fastback) and I love the look of the rims on the 60s mustangs but it's a bit hard to picture on a c5...
Maybe some can photochop it for you

I would like to see what they look like on TorchRed vert. I wonder if we could continue to use our TPS. Just my $.02 but I've always thought they would great on a C5, but then again I grew up with this style of wheel.

They do look better than I thought, but still not sold on them for a C5.
