Taking the liberty to post here as it is a P2. Doing Thors or stay with current Interceptors? Is image drag and drop into post new? If so, thanks Mathew1.

Thanks, I do like the Interceptors so I'm not willing to part with them unless it's much, much nicer. Any experience with 18's on a P2 chassis? If the Thors were 18's they would be en-route now.

That's an interesting one Pete. A combo of elegant and aggressive whereas the Interceptor is elegant and Thor aggressive. Mm, second thought they for some reason remind me of the Tasmanian.

Would you buy those 17 Thors for $90 plus $120 shipping? Putting my current Good Year 225 50 17 on the Thors would also work for the C30 with a set of hub ring. I need to clean up both the Interceptors and C30 Atreus wheels.

There’s a set of Thors for sale up here for like $100 with rubber. Doubt there’s much life in the tires, but still that’s cheap!
Wait long enough and what you’re looking for will pop up :)

And they also have an excellent song about irony.
