have a thicker cast aluminum lip like the torque thrusts have and the new ones
have a thinner spun aluminum lip.

Oh, so the 15's in the cast finish are the ones that are hard to find. That's a good idea with the center caps. You can play with the look of the car with an easy quick change. If you're at a car show and someone happens to show up with another TA like yours it will be easy to fix that in a couple minutes. Not that at any average (non Pontiac specific) car show you really ever even see more than one or two second gen TA's. I think I see more first gen Firebirds at car shows than I do second gen TA's, for that matter even second gen Camaros. I remember when it seemed like every other car on the road was a second gen. F-body. What happened to them all? Why is it the second gen Camaros even seem (to me anyway) scarce compared to the first gen cars. Was it because they didn't sell as many or was it because they just didn't hold peoples imagination like the first gen car OR am I just going crazy?
