In the big picture there isn't enough savings there to even worry about this. You are going to save maybe 200.00 but have to buy 2 new wheels and 4 new tires are full price,and at a time you didnt need them and weren't even looking for them. Spending 1200.00 to save 200.00 doesn't make sense to me.

I like them, however not what I would choose for a square. I do have them on my Camaro. Later wished I had some back with Cragars like I had on the previous Camaro. Real question us how much storage space do you have? Obviously you would need too keep both so you can swap back and forth depending on your mood for the day.

Yep, you’re speaking my language. If they were a set I was jazzed about and had planned on buying them in the future anyway, then it would be a go.

I wish that I liked Cragars on squares, but it’s not my thing. I think on passenger cars, they’re still badass. My dad dated a gal after the divorce in the 80s- she had a black T/A with Cragar s/s and white letters. That thing was gorgeous.

As far as the Torque Thrusts, a guy from my AA fellowship was just offering them to me. So I figured I’d at least give them a look since he took the time to get them out of storage. But I don’t think I could ever get used to them.

The only thing that is nice about them is the weight- they sure are lighter than those rallies. But that’s not a huge concern to me (though my tennis elbow would argue otherwise when lifting them up to put them on).

Im in both camps here, i like em both!!
Same ^^^^ I'm a big fan of rally wheels but like the torque thrusts too.

One on one side, one on the other. Whatever mood your'e in, your covered.

LOL... My dad tells a story about one of his co-workers driving a truck with a blue accent stripe on one side and green stripe on the other, he said it was like 2 years before the guy ever noticed they were different.

Kinda like my s10 that has wheel arch mouldings only on one side. Only because half the set came in destroyed so i only used half lol
