That is one sweeet ride! I am not usually a big fan of 18's on a C3 but yours just plain works. Sidepipes, perfect stance. Awesome.

Beautiful.
Everything flows just the way it should.
I do have to ask, which Torque Thrust wheels are those.
I just went to American Racings web site and there are numerous Torque Thrusts available.

Why the hell not?? That is one SWEET ride! I too love the 18's and side pipes, even though I'm usually a stock rally wheel fan. Love the color combo with the wheels too.

His TT II appear to be the Mag Gray Machined Lip version. I have the same wheel , only in 17".
