I thought I was going to switch from Centerline Convo-pro over to Weld Pro-star. I decided that I'm going to stick w/ Convo-pro. I think they look better and are as light as a feather and strong as heck too! You can see the pics in my sig to see the Convo's up front and Pro-stars in the back.-E ------------------

I've got 16"x 8" Vintage WHeels all the way around 6t6.. They come with raw centers.. I painted them gray with a bit of silver meatallic and PoR15 GLISTEN clear coate.. Finished Product Came out awesome and look GREAT.. They are absolutely the easiest rims to clean I've ever had,, because of the clear being so smooth.. See My PICS.. below ------------------

Toque Thrust II's do look good,, only problem I've got with them is EVERYONE HAS THEM and you have to keep polishing them unless you clear coat them.. And Polishing them sucks.. ------------------

I'm here  Haven't seen anyone asking about fit...seemed more like style discussion BTW - I love my TT iis.....forget all those people saying..."ohh everyone has them" or "soo overdone"...there was a reason why Ford sold MILLIONS of mustangs...and there is reason why AR sells thousands (tens of?) of TTiis in all sizes and bolt patterns... 1. They look pretty darn good
2. They are relatively affordable compared to other entrants in the market
3, They are relatively easy to care for
4. And they look pretty darn good....did I say that? I mean heck....I even bought a pair for the track so I can look good no matter I am doing.  ------------------

Hey Bill,
I have been watching the site but haven't responded much. I have been working on my 69 Dart GTS Big Block Car. I figure just in case I can't keep up with your stang, I can always go really crazy with the Dart.
I did not put crossovers in my exhaust, but it still sounds pretty decent. Can't wait to see ya in South Bend.
Ernie
