New AR Torq Thrusts IIs

[twogts4us]

See attached...new rims all around - the AR SN-95 spec rims, 17x9.5 in the front and 11 in the rear, with 275/40 up front and 315/35 out back.
For those who knew I was in the market for a Kenne Bell, those plans came to a halt just a week prior to ordering when my wife became unemployed. So, we had to stash away some cash, but I was able to treat myself to this setup - at least now I've got enough rim to hold some decent rubber in the rear and hope to have some traction when I shoot for the KB next year.

Nice. Gives the same impression of the bullits, but with a little more origionality.

Thanks!
Yeah, you can only get so original with 5 spokes...! They are very similiar to the Bullitt wheels of course, but the spokes on the TTs bend backward quite a bit, giving a different look. Plus, I know it's a pretty simple thing, but I like the center caps on the TTs. And I'm old school as are these wheels, so I really dig em. Also, these are polished, so any minor scrapes or nicks can be sanded and/or polished out (from experience I know this - it took about 15 mins to get the first rash...ugh, I was so pissed I worked on that wheel for 3 hours that night to get it back to perfect)
Thanks again guys!

They look great man! I think the TTs look more aggressive than the Bullitts, and I like that

 

[2000BLKGT]

got the same wheels

gives the modern hotrod a nice old-school touch

 

[RedDaemon]

Well, if you can find the rims on my car below, then yeah, they are very cool rims..

But, polishing sucks... Maybe some Zoop seal would help?

Looks good though!

W/ $150 shipping? jesus, i love those wheels but $1725 for wheel's and tires? That's like half way to a new mongoose

Yeah, the $150 is steep - but you can call it what you want (mounting, balancing, boxing, handling, shipping, etc). Bottom line, if you look at the total, it's not a bad deal at all. AR wheels are not cheap. This is at least $1200 worth of wheels and regardless, I needed tires badly.
And $1725 is nealry half of the $3900 for the Vortech Mongoose...but as you surely saw, I was in the market for the Keene Bell. (And I still will be..it's just been delayed.)
