To the best of my knowledge, ttd's are one piece, tt2's are two piece. TTO's are the original straight spoke one piece. Originally changed to the curve spoked d's to clear 65 corvette disc brakes.
They look better, to me, with the raised white letter tires, IMHO. When I wear mine out, that's what I'll be replacing them with. I'm running the black walls now, because they are brand new & that's what my rims came with.
I ve never seen a car yet, in ANY color, that didn't look great with gray torque thrusts on it.
I would have preferred grey, but I got the rims, tires, center caps & lugs - brand new with 7 miles on them for a great deal. So, I guess I'll live with the black
I understand, and can relate.
I pick up a pale yellow 66 Satellite and I think the torque thrusts wheels are going to get switched over to it and these factory road wheels will end up on the Coronet . Before I put it back up for sale.
Yep, IMHO, those grey Torque Thrusts not only look better, they just look right.
I've got that exact wheel, in gunmetal, 17x7 and 17x8, on my 57 chevy. You'll like em.
is the gun metal slightly shiny.... I guess compared to the dull gray Torq thrusts?
Yes. The gunmetal is a powder coat, then the whole wheel is clear powdercoat.
Dang.... didn't think about longer studs. I know mine have been changed. They seem plenty long. But will have to see how thick these new ones are.
In the "old days", mags used mag shoulder lugs that fitted thru the wheel, so the customer didn't need new studs. The new style "mag wheels" seem to use conical lugs, that don't go thru the wheel. So, if you have a 3/4" long thread on the stud, with the old mag lugs, no problem. But if you have 3/4" long studs, and the wheel using conicals is 1/2" or 5/8" thick, suddenly you have about three threads holding your wheel on. With conical, I wouldnt have any less than 1 1/2" of threaded studs.
