not a fan of coddington , either of the first 2 , the T thrust is nice but becoming over used , I kinda like the T thrust with the flat non polished  spokes better 
:iagree:

Don't let your personal opinions about Boyd Coddington affect your choice. If his wheels look the best then so be it.

Someone mentioned (in another post) using 15x8 on the front and 15x10 on the back - Is this possible ???

I would pick Torque Thrust II. I think they would look awesome and have a nostalgic look as well.

I'm buying 17x8 for my front (stock) and 18x10 for my rear (1" spring relocation). Stock suspension will not take a 10" wide wheel. For the front I've heard a few running 8"s with no worries which is why i am going that route as well.

I like the Torq Thrust IIs by themselves, but I've yet to see a car that I like them on.  Have you looked at the Torq Thrust Ds?  There's a chrome version of them, too.

Yes, of those shown I like the TT II's also although they do look like a spinoff of the ever-so-popular Crager s/s wheel. So many of the wheels these days have that "tribal" look to them. I guess its cool but just a little over the top for me.

I see that the picture is from Newstalgia. Thats exactly who I get my wheels from. I have had some very good overall experiences with them. The Vice President Howard Cook, made sure that everything was correct. Even though my girlfriend had ordered the rims and her nephew mounted them before realizing that they were the wrong backspacing - We e-mailed their complaints department and I received a call from Howard personnaly and he took care of making it right.  :2thumbs:
