15" Torq Thrust Wheels

GrabberOrange69 · Apr 17, 2018

I'm a huge fan of the vintage Torq Thrust look in 15". I like 'em so much they are on all 3 of my Vintage cars. I just ordered 2 more 15x8s with 4.5" backspace, which work well with the 275 60 15 tires, to sit on a shelf for a future project. This wheel and tire sizing fit my '65 Coronet and I've seen 'em fit nice on '68-9 Super Bees too.

I'm not connected in any way to the below link, but the wheels are at rock bottom prices right now:

It's good info, same price as Summit Racing though.

the bitch about it all is American racing does not , will not or can not produce a 15 x 10 with a usable back space other than a flipping 3 3/4 that makes the wheel stick out and looks just plain stupid. I was forced into an 8 1/2 just to keep the rim even with the fender well lines
.... rant off

Like any business they produce what they have demand for. They do have wheels in 15 x 10 with 4, 4-1/4, 4-1/2, 4-3/4, and 5 inch back space.

I am a Cragar SS guy but have always loved the Amarican;s & Torque Thrust wheels also. I have a buddy thinking about get rid of a set of old Daisy wheels. They look like Torque thrusts but have more of a curved spoke instead of the straight spoke. I like these Daisy's also.

I think daisies (S200?) are now available from American racing again, but they are now 2pc, so that custom b/s is available. The original 1pc are great but hard to fit at 8 1/2 or wider. They are iconic on 55-57
chevys, dating from " Two lane blacktop ", but they look killer on anything, just like torque thrusts. I've never seen a single car that looked worse for having either.

POMONAMISSEL · Apr 20, 2018

yes the cp's 200's are steel cast centers and steel bands . rust just waiting to happen . not to talk the weight , lol . i've collected both vintage torq thrusts , libras , d'spoked torq thrusts , gt torq thrusts , s200s's and the trans am rim .

in alum alloy and magnesium as well .
