Default Little help

I have a 04 and really want to put American Racing Torq Thrust M series on my car 17x7 +45 on front and 17X9 +45 on rear. My question is they only show 5on4.5 and not 5on114.3 . Some say they are the same. Thanks in advance.

.... do the conversion us lug patterns are usually just in a different format. Enjoy your mustang.

4.5" * (25.4mm/in.) = 114.3mm

But of course Torque Thrust wheels would look perfectly absurd on an S2000!

Just going for a classic look versus a tuner look. I really don't want the typical tuner look. I am looking at finding a classic roadster type wheel. Any suggestions would be cool. I forgot that the Torque thrust was the mustang wheel, I had a vision of a five spoke like the old Cobras had making it look more like a nostalgic roadster.

nostalgic roadster means different things to each of us.. I think wire wheels w/ center knockoffs... ie the old jag e-type..

The mustang has never and will never be a roadster. Also how could you forget the torque is a mustang wheel? They have been using that wheel basically since the dawn of time. The wire wheels Ryuu mentioned are more accurate to a roadster.

Personally some nice mesh BBS's or similar would be a more classic look on the S. If you want 5 spoke work makes a few classic designs like the Equip and this wheel but its name escapes me (it even looks a little like the torques)

VS-KF's

They didn't turn out as well as I had envisioned (this was a few years ago)
