When I imported the Dart in 2014, I also imported a set of 17" Torq Thrust 2 wheels, that's what it rides on at present, 205/50 front tyres and 245/45 rear.
They were not my first choice , but at the time what I wanted were too expensive.
Anyway back to the present , I recently found/imported these US MAGS wheels ,that are what I was looking for in the first place.
Textured grey 7 x 17 and 8 x 17, with 215/50 front and 255/45 rear.
I hope to fit them up this weekend, and post up fitted pictures.
More Muscle ,less Bling
Kick start the work to do on the Dart

I'm never quite sure about 17s on an Abody, but those new wheels were what I was considering for my B bod at one point. I think the grey does remove the bling factor and should be a real improvement.

I understand mine are a Summit 'shop' brand that were available for a while, they were already fitted when I bought it over.

Very similar, but the US MAGS have pointy spokes.
Those Summit wheels are very good value :cry:
