Guys..i'm trying to get some prices on wheels and i called Discount tires to see how much the torques thrust 2's are and they quoted me $305 for the 17x8's (chrome) 4.75 bs, and $290 for the 17x7's (chrome) 4.0 bs....i was like WHATTTTTT!!!! IS that alot or is it just me? Where are they cheaper?

 

So, you have found that wheels are expensive, huh? Check the prices with the guys who seem to be quite a bit cheaper. Also, don't forget our old friend Ebay.

well i knew they were but i thought they were like $240 a wheel....but now that i'm looking at it...the cheaper ones are polished aluminum....i thought they were chrome...i was willing to pay $400 for the foose wheels but i dont want to wait 8 weeks to get them...i called mustang plus and they have the 17x8's (polished aluminum) for $259 BUT they dont have the 17x7's in stock.....

how would a 16x7 look up front and 17x8's out back on the fastback?

 

I just bought my Torque Thrust D's at http://www.wheelsforless.com/vintage_wheels.htm Cheapest I could find anywhere on the internet. And I searched hard.

 

cool...i'll check them out..right now JEGS has them too...trying to get a price..i'm on hold as we speak...

 

okay jegs had them...2 17x7's ($239each) 2 17x8's ($280each) with lug nits shipped to my door by friday $1106.50....now for the tires!!

 

For a raised letter tire, it's hard to beat the Goodyear Eagles IMO.

 

BF Goodrich T/A's are good too with WOL... White outside lettering.

 

One of the best performance profile tires on the market right now is the BFGoodrich g-Force Sport: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....=g-Force+Sport

They look awesome, and perform even better. Best of all tirerack has then for some rediculously low prices.

 

i'm persoanlly into black walls myself...i found the tires...i'm going with Fuzion ZRi's...they have a real nice directional thread on them and they're cheap...just so you all know, FIRESTONE is having a nationwide sell for 72 hrs starting this Friday...buy ANY 3 tires and get the 4th free!!! You cant beat that!!! I'm getting my 4th tire free...i'm mounting the tires on the wheels on Saturday morning...cant wait!!
