TT II's ... 15x7 Best Price?

[70cst]

Ok...I did a search and cannot find the thread I found a while back. I am going with 15x7 ... 4.5: BS on the fronts... where is the best place to buy these? I would luv to buy form a Vendor off the site if they can offer me a good deal.
The Circuit Rider has 16x8" on the front but after driving it a while i do not like they way it handles so I am going with a smaller wheel/tire combo up front. Thanks in advance.

www.newstalgiawheel.com has some of the best prices and does free shipping and no tax if out of state.

Another option is Summit Racing.

Still like some more sources that sell TT II's. I will be purchaing a set of 15x8 wheels, I have done some thread searching but no luck on a similiar thread.

I ordered my wheels through these guys: http://myworld.ebay.com/eliteswheels

It's been a few years, but they gave me a great deal and the shipping was pretty fast.

It seems like 15x7 with 4.5 backspacing will be custom order, if so that's going to be expensive no matter what. Off-the-shelf wheels are much cheaper (but don't always fit exactly right).

I've not ordered mine yet, so I cannot speak on the experience, but I was thinking about this place.

I bought some other American Racing wheels from this guy 4 years ago, nice guy, good shipping, decent pricing.

didn't check the other ones posted, just citing mine.

Hey Dewayne, make sure you check on the backspacing. I'm pretty sure you said your 16x8's had a 4 or 4.5" bs. 15x8 Torque Thrusts come standard with a 3.75" bs. If you don't get custom backspacing, the front wheels will actually stick out further in the fender that the rears and look a tad goofy.

The other problem may be that a custom deeper bs may cause the interference problems you currently have. I would just go with the 15x7.

The BS that I need is 4.5" which is greater than stock TT II's 15x7 wheels. I looked at the 15x7 but you can't get 4.5" BS with 15x7 wheels (if I read the info correctly) so I will need to go with 15x8. The issues with the 16x8's were they were to tall and I needed to tuck these deeper into the fender well. So a 15x8 with a 4.5" BS with lower profile tires and I should have my isues resolved and be ready to roll. My goal is to put the 2" front drop coils back on as of now I have the standard BB springs which are the same as C20 trucks.
By the way.....anyone know the BS of stock GM truck ralleys? (15x8) If the BS was about 1/2 more than stock GM rallleys I should be in good shape.

The 15x7 wheels don't have 4.5" bs, but they're an inch smaller, so they will still tuck correctly. If you go with a 4.5" bs on a 15x8, you will be good as well, especially if they don't rub anywhere. It will look good that way.

I beleive stock 15x8 GM rallies have a 4" bs.

Now to find time to call for pricing...
