I can't belive how incredible these wheels look on my car, i have the 17x8
American Racing Torq Thrust II's on wrapped in some Flaken GRB-FK451 245/45/17 tires, and the result: incredible! I have the car lowered about two inches, so they sit nicely up in the wheel wells, and as much as i like my old
rims and tires, they look horrible when compared! I know a few people have done this same thing, and i'm sure plenty have seen pictures, but nothing compares to actually seeing a set on a C3. I just got them on about 15 minutes ago, so i'm kind of ranting :) he he I'll try to get some pictures up withing the week if anyone wants to see? :)

Even though they are gaining popularity like crazy and are sometimes refered to as "common" I think there about the best looking wheel you can put on a C3.

Thanks for listening to my rant :blueangel:

:cool: :cool:

It does seem like a lot of people are running them, but IMHO, nothing else compares.

Well i took some pics tonight, i just need to get them developed. I'll try tommarow :) Not very good pics the car is sitting in the shop, but it'll give you an idea :) I like the smoothies too, but TTII's just have a meaner look.

I think the Torque Thrust D's and the II's were made for C-3's. They just don't look right on other cars.

Another convert. :lol:

I totally agree !!! Amazing how beefy they look yet they're soooo light ! :D

I am very glad to read this post; I have four brand new 17x8 TTII's waiting for some rubber to wrapped around them. I think I have a lead on some BFG Comp T/A's. I'm with you, they look fantastic. :cheers:
