Default Got my Torque Thrust II's, pics within...

I ordered them on Monday and they came in today. They are 17X9.5 for the front and 17X11 for the rear. The fronts weigh 22.5lbs and the rears are 24lbs. I will do the BFH mod and roll the outer fenders so I won't have any problems with the rears.

I'm very happy with the wheels. I can't wait to get tires so I can get them on the car. I'll probably go with GS-D3's.

Congrats, man. I was gonna get some TT2's, but stumbled across my Fikse's. I def. know how it feels to ditch the stocker 16's and put some nice wheels on there! You will be happy with how it looks. Are you lowered?

I hope you're going to put them on the car before you get out the BFH or think about rolling the lips. I am lowered 1.5" and have 11" TTII's with 315/35/17's on the rear and have no rubbing issues inside or out. Good luck, Should look great.

Wheels look awesome. I am hoping to order a set as soon as I get my stock WS6 Wheels sold. Be sure to post up some pics when you get them on!

I am at stock ride height, but plan to lower in the future. As soon as they are on the car, I'll post up some pictures and let you know the weight differences.

I thought theyre supposed to be heavy. If your numbers are correct they weigh the same as stock. THe 16" wheels supposedly weigh 22lbs.

I have a set of snowflake wheels with 255 50 16 drag radials on them that weigh 45lbs then my TT2 (17x9.5) with 285 40 17 KDWS that weigh 50lbs so really not that much difference.

Do you have any rubbing issues? did you have to BFH mod the car at all? I am asking because I am also interested in the same wheels..but I have a TA so I have a little more play in the wheel wells due to the fender flares. Thanks

I'm very interested in your set up. No rubbing with 17x11 in the rear and lowered 1.5 in. Could you tell me what offset the rears are? Did you install an adj. pan bar? I'm going to get a set in a few months and would like to use the 11" but dont want to roll or BFH any part of the car. Can you post some pictures? Thanks for any help.

There's no difference in tire diameter.

I had some rubbing on the passenger side rear when I backed out of the driveway at an angle. I did the BFH mod and the rubbing is gone.

The rears are 46mm offset. I don't have an adj PHB yet. I'm at stock ride height. You may have to do the BFH though. It's really not a big deal.
