Looks good. I prefer the torque thrusts with the black wall out.

Definitely the SSI's for myself, but so far I'm in the minority.

I vote for the SS-I
Is it the camera angle or did you lower the back a little bit?

Damn you! I’m always fighting the urge to put SS1’s on the car, replacing the present SS2’s, this just reignites my conflict.

The Torque Thrusts are a good looking wheel choice but they got kneecapped by the whitewalls.

The tts or ss1 s are similar ish enough and bothare good looking rims so thats a toss up.

the WW vs BW are an easy win for the black walls.

you wanna make it a compitition? Black torque thrust w white letters VS SS1s w white letters now you got yourself athread.

for todays thread i go w SS1s but only because of the black wall tire

I love torque thrust wheels and the SS1's. I could be happy with either once you got rid of the whitewalls. Big improvement.

I personally prefer the SSII, painted the body color, but SSI with black walls out would be my second choice. I like TorqueThrust wheels on other cars but for some reason not on an Odls A-body.

The fact that the car has New rear springs and orig front and i just made a u turn in the court it probably looks like that.
the car could benefit from front springs.
