Default torque thrust II

Any one know a good website or reseller of the Torque thrust II wheels? I was just researching them and they are around $300 a piece. Also what offset is the factory wheels? I want to get 275/40/17 just like my factory wheels? Also how do the BFG KDW2 tires work on these things?

thats why... if you wanted just the polished aluminum ones it would have been a good $450 less

definitely don't want to have what every one else has. Don't get me wrong i like them. Plus I dont' think polished wheels look right with Silver.

I think they look good! Just not for my ride... I have the factory polished wheels on them now and it looks good but it could always look better. I am turning my car into a Blackbird and to do this I need the TT II's with the magnesium finish. this is what I am looking for... http://www.yearone.com/enthusiast/ar...needition.html

You can't compare the factory polished wheels with a set of Polished TT2's though...night and day difference...

Reason is the stock wheels are clearcoated and don't shine anywhere near as much as an aftermarket wheel. See my pic...
