Anybody have anything to say about American Racing's CL-205 wheels if that is the Part# and if they are indeed being marketed.

Would like to hear something about them. pdq67

Please do. I saw an announcement/ad in one of the mags several months ago about these wheels. Haven't heard or seen anything since. I even emailed them a ?
PDQ - Have you seen these wheels: http://www.vintagewheelworks.com/Specs.html I haven't seen them in person, but they come in a wider assortment of sizes than the TT-D's.

pdq67:
i emailed them again and asked for an estimate on the release date. They said should be about a month. (i hope).
I think 16x8 in back (4-1/2 bs) and 16x7's up front would look great.
what do you think?

I'm thinking along the lines of 16" x 7", w/ 4.75" bs for front and 16" x 9", w/ 4.75" bs for rear. Heck, a 16" x 10" w/ same bs might work for me??

And if I have to I will use 5.25" bs and add a 3/8" or 1/2"(?) spacer to clear my 13" rotor single piston caliper conversion for the front as well as the back 11.75" rotor Seville conversion. pdq67

PS, the rotors add .25" to each side, thats why the 4.75" dimension!!

uhhh...can some one tell me what these wheels are CL-205? I'm in the market for new wheels too and I want to know if these wheels are worth a look before i make a decision. Also is the TT2 going to be produce with more back spacing options.
