LOVE the looks of your car as well...Thinking 'bout adding a stnd. hood scoop to mine ( love the tear drop ones but i dont think it would look right on mine). Skidmark

Yo GT, I wasn't at all trying to diss your car. I think you misinterpreted what I said. I was just stating my opinion on those low low low-pro tires, not the rims. I love that classic torque-thrust style rim and am saving up for either a set of torque thrusts or bullit wheels for my car. I know it's all personal preference and if it makes you happy, then that's all that matters.

It also might be just the shear size of the car. I wouldn't have guessed that those were 17's. I thought they were 15's. It must be bc of the fastback.... Yep, it's all in the fastback.... And I thought my Torino was big.... ;-)

ITS all good in the hood my man...ALOT of peeps dont realize they are 17's...and yea this boat is 17'6" long ! I'd give a nut for some of Fooses's wheels.Not really but you get the point.Foose style is an alot of ways what Im shooting for, that classic look . For nowmI have to settle with what I can do ( which has been all of it) I wont even attempt the interior though. I meran I good with a wrench but stitching up and interior...NO WAY
Skidmark...< Its whaT I LEAVE FOR ERVRYONE TO SEE :0o

I too meant to sat the low profile tires, not the rims.

Oh and BTW is it not kinda sad that American Torq Thrusts are made in China???
