looking to buy a set of original style Torque Thrust wheels, not the curved spoke D style.
where is the best place to buy ?
also, i do not want "unilug" style wheels, only direct bolt 4 1/2" bolt pattern.
TIA as always ! bow

I think I got one set from Summit Racing Equipment? And another set from Tire Rack which I think were the best price?


You're talking American Racing Wheels CLASSIC TORQ THRUST ?

yes, like on your car. up
i want a set for my charger, so it looks like it did back in the day[s] i first got it running [late 1971, early 1972] instead of the dog dish caps on it today. [butt crack bob in picture. whistling biggrin]
i didn't think about checking tire rack for prices. i'll have to do that.

These are nicer wheels with straight spokes, but are more money.

Some American Racing wheels have been made in China for awhile also. Still ok wheels anyhow.

Check out McCormick racing. They always used to be a bit better price wise than Summit.
