Those look great! What size and brand are they? Did they require spacers etc.?

the wheels are A.R.E torque-thrust-II.they are polished17X8.no,you dont need spacers. I've got a great source for A.R.E. and centerline if anyone is interested. This guy was much cheaper than anyone I could find. He saved me $70 a wheel over summit racing,just to give you an idea. For the 17" I paid $830 with chrome lugs and valve stems. I also bought a set of 15X8 torque-thrust "D" complete for $600. This includes shipping.

I dont know how to post a link but it's

Vette(s): 1976 Brown with Buckskin Interior. I bought her on 9/15/03 and just received it on OCT 1st 2003!! It needs interior work, and some things under the hood, but I am so excited! Just waiting for Summer of 2004 to totally show it off.
Looks great!! My hubby has something similer on his mustang. They are Ford Racing Bullitt wheels, but they look very similar to yours. They look really good!! Be prepared to get some looks/drools this summer!! |wavey|

Your new wheels look great Charlie. I'am still debating if I should buy after market wheels or keep my rally wheels. Hey Charlie I grew up in Medina,I bet it's cold and snowy up there. |cheers|
