I currently have the old reproduction SSIII wheels on it with BFG Radial T/A on the car with black centers, car is gunmetal grey. I also have Pro Star Rear 15x8 with 275 60 BFG Drag Radials. I am debating on going with all Torq Thrusts or just get wider SSIII for the rears. I have been looking for pics of Cutlasses with 15 inch Torg Thrusts. Have only found 1 was wondering if anyone else had them.

Thanks,
Chris
 
This is what my 84 looks like with 15" polished aluminum ones. These wheels are now on my 83 Hurst/Olds and have a red stripe around them

Those look really good, Are they the Torq Thrust 2? What is the width and backspace on the rear?

I am thinking of going with these
 
the D has always been one of my favourite wheels....just so old school . looking forward to back space answer
 
That was is VN309 the Torq Thrust original which looks very similar to the D. I want to update the look of the car some with the wheels. The SSIII is a great looking wheel. I also love the Weld RT-S and the Billet Specialties Street Lites. They both will look great on the car but think it will be harder to sneak under the radar with them. As for the Torq Thrusts they are suck a classic looking wheel i don't think they will raise too many eyebrows

They are Eagle Alloys 211s. 7" wide, I'm not sure of the back spacing though I bought them at the Englishtown swap meet years ago. I will say that the 245/60/15's in the back rubs the frame rail a bit. I plan to plastidip the centers to look like what your looking at. This picture has the stripe applied.

Here is my 85 with them. These were put in by my pops for me. He also has these on a 77 Camaro.
