Hey guys, I have an 1988 Cutlass Supreme Classic. Its the dark grey factory color. I have been wanting to get new rims since I've had my Centerline Telstars for about 4-5 years. Right now the rims are 15X7, 255/60/15 rear and 235/60/15 front. It looks really good but I think I want to do something bigger this time

Basically I have been trying to decide between Torque Thrust II or American Racing Torqe Lite. Is there any other wheel you guys suggest Probably would get them in 17X7, maybe 17X8 for the rear if they would fit. Not sure on tire size either. Does anyone have 17s on a G-body, what size tires and rims and backspacing do you run and how does it look. If anyone has pictures of them (Hanly 2, I believe you have exactly what I want) please post them up.

Torqlites... the thrusts are beyond played out.

1988 Olds · 02-06-2008, 01:19 PM

Yeah man thats what I'm thinking also. If anyone wants to photoshop a set of torqlites on my car I'll buy em a McDonalds Double Chesseburger or something of equal value.

TalonTsi97 · 02-06-2008, 01:36 PM

I like the thrusts but i see them on to many cars try and be a little different. I would like to see the torqlites on a car thou before making as decision.

Nice but I'm pretty sure they are a Mustang wheel and I have an Oldsmobile.

lawdogg · 02-06-2008, 07:28 PM

The two rims you linked to in the first post are mustang rims too man. Your car, your call.

My bad man. I thought that was a Cobra in the center. There pretty nice too. Just so many options.

CarbonIS · 02-06-2008, 08:23 PM

the american racing ones are way played out. why not something a little more modern?

NOPSTNS · 02-06-2008, 08:58 PM

whateevr u pick, make sure u match the tire sizes right, u got the same profile (aspect ratio) on tires with different widths. ur old setup may be throwin off ur speedo, not to mention other things

OMGz Turbo · 02-06-2008, 09:26 PM

Tim torqlites no doubt in my mind. You will regret every other wheel...TRUST ME

Yeah man that's what I'm thinking myself. I just have to decide if I want to spend another $600 on rims + however much tires are.

OMGz Turbo · 02-07-2008, 08:19 AM

Its a investment. Think of it that way, your old wheels have been on the car for ****....5 years atleast since i was in 10th grade haha.

Dont be a vagina. Now lets make your car straight pipes so it can adhere its new look

1988 Olds · 02-07-2008, 01:15 PM

jdmwill · 02-07-2008, 09:29 PM

torqlites bro,what size are you going to do it.hopefuly 15"x9 front 15x10 rear try to keep it og as possible.a miss my old T-type so much.

james_ls · 02-07-2008, 09:47 PM

Lites.

If I see another pair of Thrusts on something plain...I'm gonna scream.

1988 Olds · 02-08-2008, 11:55 AM

My car is no where near Plain but anyway. 15X9 front and 15X10 rear is not going to fit. Not to metion I'm going to be getting a 17" rim as I already have 15s and feel I need to move my player status up. Probably going to try and pull off 17X7 front and 17X8 rear. Probably 225/55/17s and 255 or 275/40 or 45/17s in the rear. Can anyone photochop a set of torqlites on my car.

lownslow95 · 02-21-2008, 10:50 AM

I would go with the torquelite's, the torque thruts are over played.
