It was suggested that this be made a poll and I think that was a good idea sooo......



I don't have pics of my actual wheels yet since I'm a lazy ass and it's getting ready to snow so I'll use ripped off stock photos but...

I started with a set of the ever popular Torq Thrust II's with Radial TA's, black out but now I finally picked up a set of TTO's ( Torq Thrust Original) that I've also always wanted.
I'm not really sure yet which car I'm going to put these on but which do you guys like best on a '68 Charger?
Does anyone have pics of these on cars for comparison?
Please post me some pics!

Option 1 - TT-II :

Option 2 - TT-O :

There, I re-voted for the old school wheels.



PS, I'd change the name of the other post so it says DELETE. It will get Troys Attention sooner.

TT-II has gotten over used. Every other car on the show field has them. Nice wheel, but somewhat boring now IMHO.

TT-O isn't a whole lot better.

Granted, it's hard to be original and maintain a vintage look.

I still like them.  Certain things just look right and thats why every other car has them.  New Coke isn't always better.

I voted for the TT-II but Cragar SS and Magnum 500's always look good on a B body.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Maybe should have added Cragars to the poll.  I also have a set of Magnums and Cragar S/S. The Cragars are on the 'X' and the Magnums are my spares that I put on the GTX in the Winter to protect the Cragars. Looks damn funny with little skinny magnums on it and a blower.

Damn it Ron!
You reminded me, I was unaware that Welds were even still around. I like those! ;D
As for the AR-200's, I originally wanted those but got a price quote much higher than the Cragar S/S - especially for the 15x10's so I  went with them although I do also like the Cragars, just a but less.
Never a huge fan of the Centerlines. Sort of like Keystones, just got burned out on them.


Ghoste

I'm beginning to like Keystones again though myself.

At one point I almost put Keystones on my Satellite. Those suckers are wicked-heavy, much like the Cragar S/S.

I never even knew you were looking at other wheels for that car.  What did it have, Magnums?  They aren't all that light either, at least compared to other offerings.
You used to have those American rims similar to the Torq Thrusts on your car.  What did they weigh and what do the rims you use now weigh?

TT-II

The TT-0 is played out on all those 00-04 Rustangs.

Personally, I bought the Cragar street stars and luv 'em.

I voted for TT-O's. It depends on whether your car will be light or dark in color. I think the darker centers of the TT-O's look better on dark cars & the polished TT-2's look better on lighter cars.

I like Keystone's too, more than the Cragar S/S...I always have, even in the old days.
I used to think polished solid Centerline's were the poop back in the day, but have since changed my mind.
The Weld wheels look good, though.

Having said all that, I really like the American Racing Hoopster rims on Travis' latest score too. :yesnod:


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

If you like the satin look, Torque Thrust II's also come in satin...for me they look too "Rustang"... :rotz:

Classic is good, Rallye, 200's, Keystones, Prostars...and Charger_Fan's right, the AR Hopsters on Travis' 69 are sweet.

 I wish someone would come out with  an aluminum 10 spoke wheel like the old INDY. I want some 15's.. I have some Indy 14's...... :yesnod:

Hey Ron,
Who made all those wheels you posted? Are they all the same brand?

Nice wheels huh Dave !   :drool5: Yep, those are all made by the same manufacturer....I really like the 1st and 4th wheel. They are Budnicks. The #1 pic reminds me of a Weld Prostar....only a little more refined.   :icon_smile_cool:

Yeah, but they look like some serious money. Are they?
I agree, the first and fourth were what I liked too.

Hmm, anyone wanna buy a brand new set of TT-II's?
