These replaced my 15" Torq Thrusts. It came time to replace the tires and I just couldn't bear driving on those BFG Radial TAs any longer. 18x9 in the rear, 18x8 in the front. BFG g-Force Comp 2 tires. 275/40R18 in the rear, 245/45R18 in the front.

Looks good. I like their pro touring line. How was pricing?

Looks like a modern Rally II wheel. I like it. Good choice. Welcome to the site also.

They're around $180-190 a wheel. Some of the pro-touring line are more expensive when you get to the 2/3pc stuff, around $700-1000/wheel


They look great on your LeMans! Much cooler than Torq Thrusts ;)

Thanks! I did consider going with the lighter, more expensive Bandits, but in the end I just wanted to have the LeMans ready for driving this Spring and Summer. I have an engine ready to put in my '71 Corvette, and a '78 Firebird waiting to be built, so it's nice having something that's ready to go.

Next winter, I'm planning for Wilwood or Baers front and rear, a new rear end to replace the open 8.2 and Ridetech coilovers.
