I was wondering which wheel is better, as they both appear almost alike, the American Eagle 211 or Torque Thrust II's.

View Full Version : Which is the better wheel... Black69 Sep 17th, 04, 12:55 PM I was wondering which wheel is better, as they both appear almost alike, the American Eagle 211 or Torque Thrust II's. Brian Lewis Sep 18th, 04, 12:32 PM Black69, how much are you finding the Eagles for? I found a dealer who will sell me a set of 4 Torq Thrust ][ Series 505 Polished for $950 SHIPPED to my door. That is for two 17x8 (4.75 backspace) And two 17x9.5 (custom 5.5 backspace). Tires: Kumho ECSTA 711 (High Performance Summer) 320AA 235/45HR17 - $76 at Tirerack 255/45HR17 - $80 at Tirerack Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 (Ultra High Performance Summer) 280AA 235/45WR17 - $92 at Tirerack 255/45WR17 - $105 at Tirerack 275/40WR17 - $113 at Tirerack Black69 Sep 18th, 04, 03:55 PM I found the price of $220 a wheel for both sizes but haven't called to see about shipping prices. I found that price on this wedbsite. http://www.aaatire.com/Eagle.html These wheels reallly look like the torque thrust except for the cap. Black69 Sep 18th, 04, 03:56 PM Brian, check out the Fuzion tire also. Lot of good reports on them along with good prices. Brian Lewis Sep 19th, 04, 08:42 AM Ahh yea at $220 thats $880 + shipping, could be a few bucks cheaper over the $950 deal possibly, only issue is the backspacing and making sure its correct. I'll probably go the American Racing route to play it safe. Fuzion ZRi (Ultra High Performance Summer) 320AA 235/45WR17 - $96 at Tirerack 255/45WR17 - $104 at Tirerack 275/40WR17 - $111 at TireRack Yes that looks like another good solution, I am probably going to go with the Kumho ECSTA 711 (High Performance Summer) 320AA for now though just to save a few bucks and play it safe on the rear size until I am comfortable with the clearances. 235/45HR17 - $76 at Tirerack 255/45HR17 - $80 at Tirerack Comes to $352 shipped which is an awesome price for 320AA rated H speed rated (up to 130mph) tires. |
