Default Would these wheels look better on my car?

Hey guys,

I never liked the idea of the Torq Thrust series after I saw how many people had them. But now that I look at the price, i realize why so many people have them. They really are nice looking wheels for the price, and I think it's just that a lot of people on here have them, but in my area, definitely not.

I think I would choose between either of these two TT-M's

Anthracite


Or black


I think I'm leaning more towards the anthracite right now, more the GMMG blackbird look. Idk about the black wheels, I think they stand out too much.
What do you guys think?

Here's my car:




if anybody could photoshop these on too, that'd be awesome.

Thanks guys

Also, with a 10.5" rear wheel, could some 315 drag radials fit? Or would I have to smash out the bumper or do anything else

go with the black and throw some 315s on the back!

and yeah, i agree. Somewhat a mustang look. but i guess thats because my girl has the same ones on her stanger. haha

good looking wheel though, just to subtle for me.

Go to ls1 performance site & under their wheels & tire section there is a heading " aftermarket rims post pics " & on pg #20 there is a red t/a like yours with these black rims on it, looks ok?
In my honest opinion --go with the ttm"s as i am sure if you scan though those 24 pages there is a red t/a with the ttm"s on it & it is super sharp!! Why blacken your t/a when you can "brighten" it??

Is the only difference between the TTM and TTII the lip? And i think the spoke might be a little different. But yeah if I do get these (wouldn't be for a few months) I would get the 17x10.5" in the rear so I can throw some 315's on.

And yes I know what you mean. I like the whole red/black theme my car has now, but I just don't like black wheels. Just look at these pics of the GMMG Blackbird car, kinda similar to mine:

black would look best since you have black blackbird stripes and if you do the ceta mod in satin black or gloss black that would really tie it all together. Plus black out those front sidemarkers.

btw what springs are you running? the drop upfront looks nice, but the rear seems to be sitting pretty high?

I have a gloss black Ceta as well. I have eibach pro kit springs, but I have air shocks in the rear because my car used to bottom out. But I believe my bump stops are just shot. I had put some air in the shocks before the pics because doing 100 through a bump I didn't want the back to slam haha.

If I were to get 10.5" rear wheels with 315's, do I have to do any modding to the fender to get them to fit? Or my bump stops?

Black would look best IMO. Goes well with the black bird stripes etc. Heres some pics of mine.
