Default Are these Torque Thrusts?

What type of wheels are on the QTP SS Camaro? I think they are Torque Thrusts with a satin finish... If so where can I snag a set of those for a good price?

Yes, those are Torque Thrust 2 "Classics" and can be ordered with that gray painted center or a black painted center. They just don't advertise it on their website. Not to be confused with the "Torque Thrust D" which are only available up to 16" size.

Here are pics of the wheels Tony is referring to. I have them on my Camaro. I think the QTP car had its spokes painted aftermarket if I am not mistaken. The Classic wheels aren't as dark as those who have had theirs painted, but they still look good i think.

The TT2s on the QTP car are regular TT2s that had the spokes painted.

SebringSilver, your Z looks awesome with those on it! The before/after pictures tell the whole story. Wheels can "make" a car.

They also make those TT2 Classics in 18s, check them out on this 69 Camaro:

I photoshopped some on my red 69 Camaro, and they looked like *** on a red car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Tony,
Thanks for the compliment. Not too many cars running around with these wheels in Houston which is why I like them that much more. I like those 18's on that 1st gen, but I agree, I don't think they would look good on a red car. I have been looking at buying a 69 myself, but can't decide if thats what I really want I'd really like to check your 69 out sometime. Oh, and heres somemore pics of a 1st gen with the classics. If i got something like this I could have twins!

That silver 1st gen looks great! That would be kick *** to have two F-bodies from different eras that match. Thats why I've got my eyes partially open for an ultra clean bright red LS1 SS convertible <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

who's silver 69 is that?

It was a car that was on EBAY a while back and I just downloaded the pictures. I don't know who owns it. I just wanted the pics as a reference point of what the Classics would look like on a 1st gen. The blue one you posted the link to is the 1st I have seen with 18's.
