Well, they aren't new, but they are new to me. They are 2005 GT 17" wheels. I bought these the other day from a guy locally for $320. The reason I got them was because I like Torque thrusts and they kinda look like TT's. Anyway, another reason was because of the 6 1/4" offset. The rears fit perfect and will never rub like my current wheels with the 4 3/4" offset. The only bad thing is having to run 2" spacers on the front. I ordered the spacers already and should be here next week. I tried 1 1/2" and the rims were touching the upper ball joint. I know they look different from my 18's. I just want to know your opinions, good or bad. Be truthful.

[align=left]No kidding. I have about 1/4 mile before I reach pavement from the house.

 

dang that explains the 2 inchers up front...[>:]

but hopefully my friend will sell me his vintage 45s soon

 

I'm not a big fan. Sorry, I think they should be tuck in more. It distracts you eye from the lines of the car.

 

Hey VF,
Just wanted to chime in here... I like the ones you've got already. I think the 05s are not up to the caliber of your car. The other rims just go so well with the car...which is awesome, by the way.

 

I like em , Im planing to do the same thing with my 70 if I ever get it finished. Im not too sure about howthe spacers will do though

 

I dont like them.make the car look dirty.

Do something different.Paint the spokes white[&:]
