Default need new wheels ?
The factory wheels are all scratched up and are 16 " rims. The only problem is that the tires are brand new goodyears bought about a year ago but have no time on pavement. torque thrust II look great but it seems like I should be buying 17" wheels if I spend the cash. 1993 T/A black

AGREED! Get something bigger... At least for tire size. I was getting tired of my stock 16" 245s & am getting 17/18" C5 Y2ks. What type of style do you like & do you have a pic of your car? Visual aid...
