Call TomZWheels and speak to one of their guys if not Tom himself. Tell them the wheel/tire combo you want and they should help you out. You'd better buy them while this price is still legit.

Torq Thrust Type M Pics


Wheels include the center cap but not the lugs. If you would like a set of lugs here are your options:

Standard lugs $10.00

Standard Lugs with Locks $15.00

Lifetime Lugs from Gorilla $25.00

Lifetime Lugs with Locks from Gorilla $30.00

Shipping ranges from 50 to 75 depending on your zip code. There is no sales tax on out of state purchases. If you are a Texas resident give us a call and we can make a small adjustment on the price to offset sales tax. If you would like to just purchase the lugs shipping will be 10.00. Once again these wheels have just been released from American Racing to the public, so be one of the first to have these wheels on your car.

Damn, I definately paid less than that, . TC, you still want me to E-Mail those pics of my car for you or are the ones posted good enough? The originals are a much higher quality and larger resolution.

I agree, you will be very satisfied when you get these wheels, they look amazing, especially the 10.5's out back, .

yeah but im having a major headache deciding on what wheels to get. i really want t o run a 315 radial out back. Im thinking a nitto but i don't want the wheel to stick out past the inner tire wedge. I also dont want to go with a 315 that rubs. Plus im gonna run a good wet tire up front to have better wet traction because ive been hearing about some horror stories with drag radials and rain.

Decisions decisions

My rears stick out just a wee little bit past the inner tire wedge, not noticable at all, but overall the outside walls stick out further. I have no regrets, .

The truth is our cars just were not designed with the 315 in mind. While the Firebirds have better clearance, I don't think you are going to find a 315 or 10.5/11" wheel that will sit perfectly flush for the Camaro. Even then there is no insurance that you will not have to bang or roll to get it to fit. For instance, our car is fine with the inside clearance, but with extreme dips/bumps at speed that tire will rub the fender lip.

As 315s go the Nittos are relatively slim, and a pretty good street tire. In the rain you just don't want to drive like an A-hole and you will be fine. Up front I would consider handling versus just wet weather traction because if you unbalance the car in the rain it could be more dangerous than if you just take it slower.

Thanks for the input. Only thing is now i have to find a tread pattern for the front that wont look retarded with the nitto tread pattern. This is turning out to be harder than buying the actual wheels.

The first pic is NOT a Mustang GT wheel, . But you make a good argument, I think I am going to sell my TTM's now, I cannot bear having "Mustang" wheels on my car. My car is half a second slower too. ::Whackoffmotion::

calling them Mustang styled wheels makes you look retarded. If anything, the Mustang wheels look like the Cragar S/S and TT2 styling. Those came first, not the Mustang wheels. They are retro styling, not "Mustang" styling.

Now here's what I don't get. The only difference between the TT2's and TTM's is a stepped lip and availibility in chrome. So are the TT2's Mustang wheels and the new TTM's Mustang GT wheels? They are practically the same wheel.
here is a mustang wheel, it looks exactly like the ttm . the tt2 have a diffrent and skinnier spokes with a stepped lip.. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...4.3&vid=007897
