Cool TSW Thruxtons

I saw these wheels in person the other night, and I fell in love with them. They do make them for our cars. They come in 18X9.5 Does anyone have any pics of them on an F-body? I talked to a shop, and I am going to have the spokes powder coated black.

Also, I'm debating weather or not to stagger them. The shop says they can do 18x8 in the front, and 18x9.5 in the rear. Will an 18 inch wheel look ok on an f-body without lowering it?

Not my favorite on an f-body, but not bad at all.

I kinda like 'em. The spokes are a little small for me, but overall pretty nice.

I was looking at these wheels also. If you use those sizes (18x8 / 18x9.5) will they fit right on or will you have to roll fenders, etc.?

I really like the 20 x 10.5 / 19 x 9.5 set-up on 1Hawk's car. Did you have to modify your car to fit those?

Those rims look awesome. I can't believe the car above has that large a rim and loks good. Normally an 18" or larger rim on a f-body looks gay.

I saw a 1980-something supra today with those wheels, or some very similar ones.

There are two TSW wheels that look the same, the Volcano and the Thruxton. Very similar, the Thruxton has more of an agressive look
