Features torque thrust big and littles - lets see 'em

The later Tulips, like I see a few folks posting, just never blew my skirt.

 

14" polished torque thrust Ameriacns

 

Ya i'll play along. $1000 for rims and tires all the way around. All pretty much brand new parts. 8.5 in the rear and 4.5 in the front. volkswagen tires up front and 31 x 10.5 in the back.

 

Here's a pair of early 70s 15x10 ET's I'm saving for the right project.

 

These are the wheels that were the epitome of a Real Hot Rod...

That and a pair of slicks... Very Cool!

Bigs and littles work with these other wheels as well but I like my TT's.

 

Now that is just plain sexy

 

What a great thread! I had been looking at so many options for wheels for my 62 Unibody and recently decided on 8.5X15 and 7X15 TTO's and this thread pops up! They are supposed to be in tomorrow. Now I just have to decide on tire size and this thread really helps...Thanks OP!

 

my buddy's old car

 

15x4's and 15x10's

18" x 8" on the back and 15" x 41/2" on the front

 

145R15's on 15x4.5 AR Mags and 10x30 Hursts on 15x9.5 American Racing Mags

 

15x5's with 165/15's and 15x7's with 235/70/15's.

 

Said it before, say it again.

that is one MEAN coupe.

 

Depends on the car for me. Really dig 'em on Stingrays with flares.

 

This happens to be one of my favorites!

 

Great pics guys !

I'd build a car around those wheels... like this coupe

Id like to start a list with links for current vendors of torq thrust styled 5 spoke wheels.
Plenty of copies over the last 40 years , but some are still being currently produced and sold today.
I have stumbled across them but can't remember what they called them or where they were, or how I found them.

Of course AR but there's others a bit harder to find.
I think this would be a good place to start the list, and then I'll move it to its own thread after it gets going.

Post them up and I'll move them here.
Should be quite helpful for anyone looking.
Thanks.

By "5-spoke" your opening up a big field but damn, radir's http://www.radirwheels.com/wheels.htm although nothing near an AR TT, are a damn good looking wheel currently produce that resembles the flat-spoker of the past ... I love 'em

 

bloody lovely steve !

kev

 

Sorry about that,
since this is a TT thread, by 5 spoke I mean the copies of the AR TT. There have been plenty over the last 40+ years and I stumble across a few still being produced and sold today.
Them bullets are nice and available in skinny front runner ! Whoo-hooo.
I added your link and I'll clean that post up too.
Thanks!

 

4.5 fronts 7 rears.Think there just right

 

That car is freakin' badass!!!!
To me, a set of Torq-Thrusts with the natural finish on the spokes wrapped in redlines is perfection.

Now, my brain is spinning to finish my sidewall cutting machine and cut my BFGs for some 1/2" redlines................
