American Racing Torq Thurst Wheels Straight Spoke

[SuperNovaSS]

This is a set of 4 real American Racing straight spoke Torque Thrust wheels. These are true vintage American Racing wheels from the late 60's-early 70's.

All 4 wheels are 14x7 with a 1/2 positive offset(3 3/8 inch backspacing). The bolt pattern is 5 on 4 3/4 inches. I trial fit these wheels on a 69 Camaro disc brake setup and the wheel clears the caliper and spins 360 degrees with no issues.

These wheels are in very good original condition. I believe these have been in storage since the 80's if not earlier. There are a few lightly curbed areas on the far outer edge. The center caps are spin off style. If you would rather have the standard center caps, they are cheap and readily available. These are very nice original Torq Thrusts.


$650 plus the ride.

Thanks,

Jason

Great to hear Bill. It was a pleasure dealing with you as well. I would love to see the wheels on the car when you get to that point.

----Thanks, Jason! Ill find some Americans somewhere. Do you think an NOS set for $140 is at all reasonable? I did find them but am balking at the price a bit......Bill S

This guy claims these are American Racing brand:

I get the newer American caps and carefully drill out the screw holes. Add a washer to the screw and you're good to go.

Did you try Terry Vaughn? He deals with a ton of old TT's. I've bought several sets from him in the past...
