6T4 Polara OP pro stock 6 Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 1,265 Michigan	Thinking about getting a complete set for my 64 Polara 500 anniversary gold with a white top. 15x6 front and 15x8 rear. Anyone know how much they weight and had any experience with vendor. Thanks

Everybody's prices are similar, could have bought them from anybody. I got mine from them because they specifically advertised the correct right and left lug nuts. When my wheels came, the lug nuts were not in any of the wheel boxes. Called them and quickly had the problem fixed. fyi, the rear wheels will be 8.5, not 8. newstalgiawheel

Not sure on the weight but they are light. Best choice for an early b body too. 7497153-IMG_9453.JPG (1486 downloads) An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.

Don't know the weight but definitely lighter than the stock steel wheel. They are not 'reverse' and the tire is about 3/4" from the wheel opening, at the closest point.

Works great for me and you cant beat TT on the 62 to 65 Mopars as they look great to me. I bought mine from "Jims Racing Tires" here in Balt Md. Ron Last edited by 383man; 12/10/12 02:34 PM.

They are called "Old School" wheels by MB Wheels, they came boxed up from Voxx. Got them on a black Friday sale at Discount Tire Direct for $78 a wheel, I think they are normally $91 each. I bought four 15x8 with 4 1/2 rear spacing. They sell a 15x7 also.

I like the black too, just a little crisper than grey, although they also offer a grey finish. And, these are very affordable. 7513738-USWheelStd.jpg (585 downloads) Last edited by StealthWedge67; 12/21/12 11:59 PM. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready. 468” Lowdeck MaxWedge - 10.42 @ 128

I like Torque Thrusts but since production has been moved the term "American torque thrust wheels " should be changed to Chinese torque thrust wheels...
