Guy had them listed on craigslist as American Racing torque thrusts... I think they are made by Appliance and are more like Crager S/S... Either way, I was happy for 40 bucks!
No way, the Appliance centers are the coolest part! The chrome looks like it'd clean up nice with a careful polishing, don't use SOS. If you're going to take the tires off, consider making a little soak tank with wood bleach in it like the guys do for wire wheels. I bet they'd come out damn near like new.
X2. And the wood bleach thing works wonders, you really won't have to scrub at all. If you do, just use the WHITE scrub pads, the kind that are basically a webbing over sponge. They won't scratch. Nice find, always liked those, especially on low riders.
Cool, I haven't seen an old set of those that wasn't rusted for a long time. They are clean and proper looking for a mid 60's car.
