Torque Thrust II's. Personally, I love the look of the 17's on my 2nd gen.

I threw one in on photobucket. It was a sweet TA at PITP. I must congratulate this guy.
This car just looks 'right'. Wish now I would've come over to talk to you.

Davey, I kinda like the look. It might a be different without that monster sticking out of the hood.

See the pic of mine in my sig. 14"ers are too small though. No cash for an upgrade right now.

I agree 100%. I don't why, but 17's and larger seem to look much better (to me at least) on a 2nd gen F-body than on an A-body.

15's are OK, but 17's seem just a little too big for an A-body (for my taste anyway).

I wish there were more available options for 16" tire/wheel combos.

Nice job on the center caps, great idea! I have the RTs as well on my T/A, not the black ice ones, but love them. The price is right too.

Thanks! The pic is about 8 years old, why?

Car doesn't look much different today, have gone through a career change and not had any money the last 6 years or so.
