My Roadster with ET 15X5's and 15X8's



My work in progress 34 with 14X6 and 15X10 Halibrands



My Wagon with 15X7 Torq Thrust II's which I decided to sell (I really dont like the 2 piece )



After selling the TTII's I bought a set of vintage Universal Dragmasters in 7's adn 8.5's. The 8.5's rub on my wagon.....So I have the set for sale in the classifieds and I plan on changing to Halibrands with the Mag Coat centers.

Shameless plug

Here is what I will change to. The main reason is they they come in a 8" versus a 8.5 and you can dial in the back spacing to whatever you want.

 

Beasty again

 

15 x 4&1/2 and 15 x 10 with 165's and 295 65 15's.

 

15x8 rear with 8.20 dragsters 15x5 front with 5.40 Firestone

 

14x6 and 15x8.5

 

I think you could put Torque Thrusts on a Yugo and even it would look better.....................well, ok, maybe not a Yugo, but they sure improve most cars they are on. Definitely one of the all time greatest wheel designs ever.

Just remember, it was you who asked for 17 and 15 combos...

This may not look too HAMB friendly in the mock-up stage, but I assure you it has axles front and rear,(narrow '57 9" rear), mechanical injected small block, will have door handles, and will be entirely home built!

.......

 

Here is my old '32. Oh yeah, it has a rubber rake!

 

That is correct George. The Vintage V's have a round spoke. 15x4 is a one piece casting, copy of the magnesium Americans. The 15 x7 and other sizes are two piece with custom offsets.

 

I am surprised that the poser police havent jumped all over this thread.

 

Thanks all for the kind comments on my sedan and the red stripes. Much appreciated.

 

They sure hit the mark with them.
One of the first, best designs & most copied < says a lot right there.
They look good on anything.
