Does anyone have any pictures of Thruxtons on a Red Goat, preferrably Torrid Red. I have tried searching and couldn't find any pics and I would really like to see what they look like before I make a final decision.

Thanks for the quick response Chris, unfortunately all I've got is a big red X.

OK so I'm trying to decide between 18x8 wheels for my Torrid '04:
Thruxtons

or Lagunas

I'm leaning towards the Thruxtons because I like the HyperBlack finish and they have a slightly larger lip, the catch is I need new tires ASAP and Thruxtons are on back order everywhere, but the Lagunas are available now. If anyone has pictures of either wheel on a Torrid car that would be awesome... or if someone feels like photochopping... I really need pictures of both to decide if the Thruxtons are worth the wait or if I would be happy with the Lagunas.

Also any suggestions/opinions between the two would be great too.

Here is a picture of my car(it's not that great of a picture) but if someone feels up to photoshopping here it is:

Ok guys, I think I have decided on Lagunas, I haven't seen any other red cars with them and I think they will look really smooth and clean on the car. My next question is... Would it be possible to go 18x9 with a 45 offset at all 4 corners with 245/40/18 so I can get the larger lip of the 9" wheel, I'd like to do this so I can still rotate (I love the look of staggered setups but I need to be able to rotate regularly) and if it is possible will the stock 245 width avoid rubbing issues?

Also I know Thruxtons need them, but do all TSW wheels require smaller lugs or will stockers work with Lagunas?

I know there are alot of questions here, so thanks in advance for the help!
