Default My head hurts...Help me pick wheels!!
Tax return time has come and its time to buy some wheels. I've researched all of them but cant decide so I'm lookin for opinions. 17x9.5 17.10.5 Black Torq Thrust M's, 15 inch Racestar Set-Up, 18x9.5 18x10.5 Chrome C5 DD or 15 inch Billet Specialties?? I'll be runnin M/T Drag Radials on the rear regardless. The car is my daily driver but does see the track on occassion. Thanks in advance guys. Car pic is in Sig.

Why'd you narrow it down to only those? I guess my opinion would be one of the 15 inch outta all of those

I'm in the same boat as you are... personally I think you'd fair better with the Billet Specialities.

If u go with the 15s, either way u cant go wrong. Those are hands down my two favorite wheels. I didnt think I was ever going to be able to pick between racestars and billet specialties. If it took me any longer, I probly would have had to flip a coin haha.

Otherwise, I think the black torque thrusts would be my choice
