We all like Torq Thrust wheels, so do you like one representation/copy better than the other.

Gotta go with the Thrustar. Looks more like the originals to me, plus I refuse to even consider giving any of my money to Coddington

Smoooooooothie. They taste as good as they look!

Oh wait. You know what I meant.

I was actually curious to see if anybody would slap a pair of ROH's on their new 05 (they looked pretty good on the SN-95s).

Maybe the chrome ROH's, not the painted aluminum ones though.

The more I think about it, the more I think the "spokes" are too thin. If you notice all the offerings for the SN-197s and the Mustangs of the 60s era were all "thick." Something about the car just calls for a "full" wheel. If that makes any sense.

Im literally split, im about to post how I like one, but look at them, then change my mind, so I have ended up with the fact that im split. Thrustar has that cool unique chicsled look of something familiar, yet the Smoothie has the look I'm used. Its more traditional looking, nothing too crazy, yet custom. Havent even voted yet, my own poll is tough.

Keep in mind I diregarde the guy behind the Smoothies, but oh well.

purely by design I like the smoothie better, I like how the spokes near the outside of the rim curl in toward the center of the car. I still wouldn't by them from coddington though.
