Good evening all,



I've been looking high and low for wheel information that GMMG used on the Blackbirds, but cannot seem to find reliable info. What seems to be factual is the wheel size used, which seems to be 17 x 9.5. What I cannot seem to find, though, is the type of Torq Thrust they are. I've seen Torq Thrust II, Torq Thrust D, and Torq Thrust M. They look like my old Torq Thrust IIs I had on my Impala SS, but I can't be certain since I no longer own the Impala. Another thing I cannot find is whether GMMG used a special paint color on these wheels, or are they a factory ARE color? Lastly, any idea what the offsets are on the wheels?



Would love to purchase a spare set of wheels for the BB, want to make sure I get the exact match.



Thank you everyone!



Eric

Yes the wheels are Torque Thrust 2's by ARE. They were shipped to GMMG and custom painted there. I have the offset in my records and can look it up . I have the paint code too. P.M. me if you need it.
