torque thrust 2 imho, bullits are nice but the deeper lip looks better and the cobra "R" is just to straight cut of a design for the soft lines of a classic

You will get all kinds of opinions here. I like the polished wheels or the blacked out rims best. It has to be done right, right color of paint, etc. Definatley the torque thrust look. There are many styles that fall into this category that look good imo.

depends on your paint choice. for me, i had a hard time deciding whther i wanted black paint with torq thrust 2's, or dark green paint with vintage 45s. i decided on the green with gray bullits. if you paint you car a nuetral color, like white, black, dark green, silver, or a darker color in general, then the bullits would look better. if its a loud color, like red, yellow, orange, blue, then TT2's.

I went to go look for some rims on thursday, and they told me that they had stopped producing replicas of the bullets, only what has been produced will be available (something about a law suit). So I would suggest that if you are thinking about bullets to go find out if they are available, because you are only going to be able to order oem bullits, or unless you find some used. On the other had they showed me some tt style m. don't know if you have seen them, heres a pic just in case you haven't. Look something like the bullets, the other thing is that since there are no longer the replicas of the bullets, the tt style m is getting backed order. here are two pics so you can see the difference between them.

nice rim, I have seen it a couple of times and I'm thinking about that one too. I got a look a some kmc rims look like the mach 1 rim but chrome. The only bad thing is that it only comes in 20's or 22's.
