American TT or Steelies?
Well after 15 years with the Americans I did the switch to steelies. I know which ones I'm going to run. What say you all??

Re: American TT or Steelies?
I like both! the problem with steelies is finding a decent set of caps without paying an am and a leg. Are the torq thrusts up for sale?

Re: American TT or Steelies?
I think I have the same American Racing wheels on my truck and love the look. Why are they called American Racing TT?

Re: American TT or Steelies?
Hey Lee,
The steelies look really good on your truck. I am a huge fan of the TT's and would invite you to ship them up to Michigan if the price is right and you are going to sell. I would not mind steelies on my truck but not sure how they would look on the long bed. Another thought, would you consider painting the steelies body color (olive)??? I wonder how it would look with Ochre/White if the wheels were Ochre?? You did good. |

Re: American TT or Steelies?
I'm gonna have to go against the current trend. I like the TT's better on that truck. Keep em. You may want to swap em out again.
