New AR Torq Thrusts IIs

twogts4us · Mar 13, 2007

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!

I'm curious as well. If the price is right, i'm going down to 17's for the same setup.

They look sharp

I hope your wife finds a better job soon

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

2000BLKGT · Mar 13, 2007

got the same wheels

gives the modern hotrod a nice old-school touch

RedDaemon · Mar 13, 2007

looks excellent

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!

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.)
