i have talked with 71see10 and seeten. they have both advised me on where to look on the net for wheels and tires. my question is, who may know of a place to buy thorqe thrust II wheels in 17/9.5 and 17/8
all feed back is appreciated

68Stepbed · 09-23-2008, 07:41 AM

Fastlane motorsports. They have an Ebay store if you want to look them up. He'll give you the best price over anyone else. You could also try Newstagia wheel. I know that's who Asa got his wheels from.

**lolife99** · 09-23-2008, 07:56 AM

Newstalgia wheels is another good source. They have alot in stock. http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/

Where did you get them??? Fastlanes prices are hard to beat!

dan42 · 09-29-2008, 09:40 AM

Are they actually cheaper than say, Costco, once you pay for freight and mount them? I always wondered about that.

72BLUZ · 10-10-2008, 09:07 AM

shipping, mounting and balancing is free. when i recieve the tires and wheels. they will be ready to put on the truck. ordering them out side of tenn saved me sales tax.

72BLUZ · 10-15-2008, 11:46 PM
