Torq Thrust II Classics? I was wondering if anyone knew where I should start looking for some Torq II Classics? These are just like the Torq Thrust II's but with the gray center section........17x9 & 17x11 would be nice
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

Re: Torq Thrust II Classics? No, the Tourque Thrust D is a machined wheel, not polished, with a fatter spoke design. What he wants are the the TT II's with the grey center and polished lip. GMMG uses a 200S on the Intimidator SS that looks pretty sweet also. http://www.gmmginc.net/
They also make the TT II in full chrome <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Here are the prices I have gotten locally for both the grey, and the chrome.
Grey w/polished lip TT II
Front 17X9.5 $285 ea.
Rear 17X11 $290 ea.
Chrome TT II
Front 17X9.5 $320 ea.
Rear 17X11 $330 ea.
Hope that helps ya out.

Re: Torq Thrust II Classics? I just had the classics put on my car last week. Hopefully tomorrow I will get some pics and send them to you if you like. I got 17X9.5's all the way around and paid $260 a wheel. It took American Racing exactly one month from the order date until the time they shipped. One thing that kinda bothered me about the wheels was that AR said the spokes on the wheels were painted and clearcoated, when in reality they are not. They are a medium grey with a rough finish. I really liked the look on the GMMG cars wheels and thought that is what I would be getting, wrong! Beside that one thing, I love the wheels and have gotten numerous compliments. They are about 1/4 of the darkness of the muttang wheels. I talked to a guy that ordered a set of polished wheels and took them somewhere and had them painted and then cleared so that they are a dark grey and shiny like the GMMG wheels, but I didn't want to go to all that trouble. Anyhow, as soon as I get pics I'll hit this thread again. I don't have a way to host them, but I can email them to you or maybe someone will be nice and host them for me.

Re: Torq Thrust II Classics? If I can't get some chrome ZR1's....this is definitely the next "reasonable" choice down the line. Followed by Fikse, Hickock, Kinesis, & finally HRE. All it takes is money huh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Torq Thrust II Classics? The TT II's are nice...
The "Classics" are called CL205's. They are the Torq Thrust D looking wheel (Cast gray middle) but in TT II sizes (i.e. 17's and up)
The GMMG wheels, with the paited gray spokes that are clearcoated are called something else.
I personally don't like the GMMG wheels with the clearcoated spokes. The CL205's look much more muscle car-ish. I wanted these for my LE, but just cost too much. (I wanted 18's)

If you don't like them, I'll take them off your hands. Maybe trade you my 18's for them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I love the rough looking TT's.

Re: Torq Thrust II Classics? Jon,
I am happy with them so far, but thanks for the offer. I was a little disappointed at first, but I like them more and more each day. I think they look good on my car being that it is silver, but I'm not sure they would look good on a dark color car because the spokes are not dark enough. Although I bet they would look good on your car being that it is the 35th with the stripes. I will get some pics soon. If i do decide to get rid of them I'll keep you in mind.

Re: Torq Thrust II Classics? I called him, but he never returned my call......I'll wait till Thursday and call again. I also spoke with QTP and they're seeing what kind of a deal they can work out.....I love those wheels.
