    question on 17" wheels

    I am interested in the amr torque thrust m wheels. I vaguely recall mustang Steve telling me to check out Steves mustang parts. When I look at their wheels, they look identical,  but carry a Scott Drake part number. Are these just torque thrust Ms rebranded by Drake, or are they different? Willthey work OK with the 04 cobra brake kit? Thanks for any help, mike

    Re: question on 17" wheels

    I just finished bolting on a set of 04 Cobra front calipers and bolted on a set of 17" AMR TTM's over them. The calipers clear the wheel by over an inch. By my measurements I could use 14" rotors with the 17" TTM's. 

    Hmmm, makes me wonder if 16" TTM's would clear the 04 Cobra brakes.

    Thanks. It seems that the Drake wheels have same finish options as the torque thrust 2's. So, I wonder. Ended up going with ridler 695.  Have plenty of room.

    If you ever test that hypothesis please let us know 'cuz that would be an awesome find.

    '66 Fastback since July 27, 1981. Springtime Yellow, originally a 200 cu in, 4 speed. Also a '92 LX Coupe, 5.0, 5 speed.
