Default Torque Thrust M Anthracid Wheels on the way!!!!!

I just placed the order this morning. I think these wheels are gonna look badass on my pewter SS. I know the anthracid color is a little darker than the pewter, but with the polished rim, it should look pretty sick. Anyway, I will have them on and post some pics asap. Feedback??

I'm a "sista" yeah...cool that its all pewter cars . I did order the 10.5's and getting the Nitto's in 285/40/17's for the rear

Hey Bob....last Saturday Tim and I think we saw your old T/A. There was a young dude about 20ish driving it with PA tags outside of Leesburg. We had pulled into a gas station after oddly enough returning from Gettysburg PA to pick up a used rear. They guy took off before I had a chance to get out and talk to him.

apparently a 285 or a 295 is the ideal size for a 10.5" wheel. but i do know that a 315 will and has worked with no problems at all. i went with the 315

10.5" to 12" is ok for a 315.

Of course 285's would be fine, I was only talking appearance wise how a nitto runs smaller and technically 295's are the perfect fit for a 10.5" wheel. I just wanted to see a fat *** tired on those bad boys

I couldnt find any 295's in a 17 online. I think the 315's would've been too big for the 10.5 although yeah I know they'd fit. Unfortunately I've had to spend way too much money on my car recently maintenance wise . I'd rather have spent the money on performance stuff instead of the rear and p/s. Arrgghhh....

I'm sure they'll look good anyway. 99% of people only see the rims anyway and could care less about the tires... not to mention you're not exactly putting down monster tq
