    Torque thrust IIs or Torque thrust M's

    What is the difference between these two rims. I've only seen the pics on Tirerack.com but nowhere can I really find out any differences in them (even their own website). I think I might like the look of the M's slightly better and they are WAY cheaper....but at what cost to quality or materials?

    Are there any other wheels out there that are very similar in design to these....perhaps Cragar's but anything else?

    What color car?


    And tirerack is going to be WAY pricey.
    TomZwheels is the place to buy.

    The car is dark blue (standard WS6 factory color, not a custom blue) But I don't see where color will make a difference as both rims are the same color.

    Though I guess darker colored rims are available in similar styles, I wasn't really talking about those though.

    IMO, the TTII's look better... the M's look a lot like cobra rims to me.. And at Tomz, you can get a staggered wheel tire package in TTII's for less than $1200 I believe...

    Trouble with both of those wheels is that they don't come in the size I was thinking. I was gonna go 10.5 rear, 10 rear front. But there is no such thing as a 10" and the TTII's dont come in 10.5" either.
    But I am still figureing one the sizes, so we'll see.

    These are about the closest you're going to get to the size you want for this type of wheel

    Good point. I gotta get tires when tax season comes around, just checking out options... I'll put them on the list and see. Was leaning on going back to G-Force Sports...but I dunno, we'll see. If I've got the extra cash, I know that KDW 2's are on the top of the list

    I got my TTIIs from WS6store and I got the 17x11s for the back and 17X9's up front.

    Way cheaper than Tire Rack and they had them in stock. Tire Rack had me on back order.

    The Falken FK452's have lasted all year with me doing some long lasting super smokers and still have a good amount of tread.

    I'm going for the Nitto 555s this next spring and going with the 315's on the back.

    I'm planning on settling down with the super smokers this next year though....lol.
