[95firebirdconvertible]

SIDE BOOB!!! :lol:

Yeah, those are TT2's. I still dont know how I feel about the smoothies. In the end I kinda hate them because of the name on the center cap.

IIRC it was for far more rare on the LS1 cars. I think it was only offered in '98.

I remember seeing pics of that car before too...I think he was one of the guys that got screwed when APE went under.

Yes they are 17" Torq Thrust II's, My buddy has them on his Ta, and has his car lowered. His are 18's all the way around though.

good call justin! if my memory serves me right the color is bright green metallic or something like that. i believe he is building a pretty gangster turbo setup right now. his car even made it into the ls1tech calender with that pic space station posted

lmao i was gonna say the same thing...

[ins0mnia24]

They look like a copy or reproduction of the Mustang Bullit rim most of the new Mustang's i have seen on the road have those rims black or chromed centered

[ins0mnia24]

Here's a link to a set of the rim's their exactly the same except for center cap's and alot cheaper for the set but they are OEM Replica Mustang Bullit rims , That probably where American racing borrowed their design off of.

[Tsar]

would those things bolt up to my car? :lol:

[ins0mnia24]

Someone else should be able to answer you with that question, but i noticed the offset was a little different , and i don't know the F-body offset tolerances of what will work in the wheel wells or not , Email them and ask them if they ever used them on a f-body

[Tru2Chevy]

American Racing Torq Thrust and Torq Thrust II wheels were both on the market before the current Mustang Bullit rims.

[omarcamaro]

ford borrowed the style from american racing the tourqe thruster wheel has been around since the 60's
