Best Place to Buy 18'' American Racing Torq Thrust IIs

Like the title says, where is the best website to buy a set of 18" AR Torq Thrust IIs for the 05+ Mustang GTs. Im not quite sure if I want the anthracite or the polished finished. Thanks in advance!

Yeah they definetly are, i was wanting some as well before i bought my bullitts but im in college so money is a little tight Hopefully you will run across a deal though on some used? What sizes were you thinking of going with? i think 18x9 and 18x10 would look badass.

Yea I was thinking of 18x9/18x10

Not too sure what Im going to do now, thinking about copying your design with a Torch Red GT, spoiler delete, mirror covers and DD Bullitts! Ive got 3 outta 4 already haha

Not a bad plan, you can already see how it looks. When i did some calling around, i found out the wheelreplica deep dish bullitts will match perfectly in color etc to my non DD 18x9s. If i hadnt bought all 4 of mine used etc thats what i would have done. 18x9 non DD in front and 18x10 DD in rear. Would look pretty sick with a 295 in the rear

I've checked out the American racing website and it seems they have a very limited wheel selection in the 18" size.They are slowly adding more sizes.In the new style section they've added a new Torque Thrust wheel and comes in the 17" and 20" sizes for s-197's but no 18 or 19's.I settled for a set of 20's but even they are far from being built.I'm hoping by the end of the month they'll be ready.

Those do come in 18's, i've seen them on a car. They seem to be really hard to find though.

You might be able to get away with the ones for the old model stangs. The offset is 24mm but on a 9" wheel it might sit flush and stick out.

Ya but I can see them looking kinda goofy with the fronts sticking slight out, and the rears being deep dish. It might give the reverse Big/Little affect.

Are you talking about having Non-DD fronts and DD rears? If so, it wouldn't look goofy at all, it looks bad ***!
