attached is a link to a wheel I am trying to
identify. it is mounted on a 2004 gto. Can you tell
me what brand it is and if it is a good fit for a GTO.

It appears to be a Tourqe Thrust II. Really looks alot like the factory Mustang 17" rims. Not really +.

That's not a TT2...I have a set and there's more "steps" to the lip. I think that is a wheel off a late model Mustang...The Ford TT knock offs with a Chevy center cap.

I agree, but who would have the balls to put that on a GM product???

Those are American Racing Torque Thrust "M" wheels....

They're basically a copy of the Bullitt wheels on late model mustangs.

Torque Thrust IIs used to be a standard muscle car rim. Everybody ran them. They're a great looking, classic 5 spoke rim. FWIW, if somebody made a TTII for a new GTO, I'd already be running them. :)

Yup...Mustang wheel...looks just like the one that came on my 2001 GT. More than likely aftermarket...that would look like shit on a GTO...especially in the 17".

They do look more like Torque Thrust M:

Well, technically, the Torque Thrust II is a modern 2-piece version of the 1-piece cast Torq-Thrust D, which came out "back in the day". ;) The Bullitt wheel is a copy of that.

Ugly. That would look awful on a GTO.

okay, aside from the looks, is there any reason why this wheel would not work on a GTO, like wrong offset, bolt pattern, hub, etc. that would need to have the rims changed immediately. Thanks
