Please Post Pics of Vintage Torq Thrust Clones like Atlas,Ansen, Fenton, Keystone, E/T, Appliance, Superior,Crestline,Morbec,Western, International Dragmaster etc... I'm sure there are many and I missed a few. I'm lookin for a little history and unique specs.pic is a Superior Supermag 15/7 unique for have less back space than Americans,perfect for mid 50's chevys.

 

Heres my ROCKET replicas.

Have these for sale. I was never able to identify the make, they are two differrent manufacturers

 

Here's a 15 x 6. Probably a U.S. wheel. I've since bead blasted the gold off

 

15 x 6 Ansens next to 15 x 4 magnesium Americans

 

Brand new 15 x 4 ETs

 

I have no idea who made them. 15X6" 2 piece steel and aluminum. A hard size to find today. 15X6s are only available in the ugly bent spoke repros. I'm weird...I love the old clones that I used to run but not the current clones. I can tell the difference from 20 feet.

 

Anyone have some nice pics of the Fenton 5-spoke??

 

Early Halibrand... cast alum or mag?

 

15 x 6 Crestlines Mark II's. Made in Walnut Creek, CA, probably mid 60's.



I ran them on this Stude for 30,000 miles...



I also have a couple of Crestline singles...





These Crestlines have more back spacing than similar Americans with the same width.

If they dont say walnut creek then they were made in benica, Ca.
After the move but before the name change to ET.

 

Another shot of the Halibrands to show profile & back

 

14X6 Fentons on my teardrop.

 

A couple more shots.....
And just for the hell of it... A Cragar S/S 5 spoke..

 

Had to dig around in the basement but I found em. Got 5 of these 14x6 Fenton Hustlers.

 

those look identical to mine, center cap and all.

 

Does anbody have any idea what company made this wheel?

 

interesting, would look right at home on a fined buick drum.
iv only owned the cragers..seems they were popular in the 80s.

Halibrands

 

ETs, '65 and '66 (yes, unilugs were available '66, maybe even late '65)

Click on the little pic to make it bigger.

 

Ansens - the ones with the push in cap were also available with true knock-off hubs.

 

Crestlines.

 

apache i believe

 

JC Penney. Think these were made by Appliance Plating. Either way I'd love to have some wheels called 'El Tigre'

 

Keystone.

 

There were two different wheels from two different companies that were strikingly similar. Apaches were made by Appliance Plating, and Sting Rays were made by... I don't remember!
