Billet Specialties Apex G.....Opinions Needed Inside
Well I was decided on a set of Torq Thrust II's (Cl205's) for my Nova until I ran across the Billet Specialties Apex G in a grey spoke finish this morning. Now I am completely torn between the two. So at this point I really need some opinions on the two. Let me know what you guys think between the two and which will give a more old school vintage look on my Nova. On a side note the rim specs will be a 17 X 8" Front; 17x9.5" Rear and the car will be running 2" DSE rear drop leafs as well as DSE 2" drop coils up front...
The Car:
Choice #1: American Racing Torq Thrust II (Cl205)
Choice # 2 Billet Specialties Apex G (Painted center)

If you want more of a vintage look I would stay with the TT II but you did state that you want a 17" wheel. Since you want a 17", I like the Apex G's, it gives a modern twist on a vintage look. I haven't seen those yet....I like them. They will look great against the green paint.

The Apex Gs look great! An updated look for a "classic" style wheel. Quality wise I don't think there will be any comparison. I also think they will be much more pricey but you get what you pay for.

Those ApexG look nice. I think the way they look with the grey center would look nice on your Nova.

If you want the vintage look and 17" wheels go with Vintage Wheel Work V40 or V45. I like the color of the spokes a little better then the AR wheels.

Budget is also an issue here unfortunately, I would def go Budniks if money was not a problem. At this point I'm still leaning a bit more to the cl205's due to cost
