Hey guys, not sure if this is the correct place to ask/post this but I have a couple American Torq-Thrust mags and two U.S. Mags that I'm thinking about selling. The Americans are 15x7 with a 1/2" positive offset. The U.S. Mags are 14x7 but I'm not sure of the "offset". Guess I could measure it?? Anyway, they were both on my Nova back in the day. I used the U.S. Mags on the front because I couldn't seem to find any Americans that would fit the disc brakes?? They both look identical when mounted. So here are a couple pics I took just last week. The first one is of the U.S. Mag and the other two are the Americans. They are located in my attic and have been up there for many years. I bought the Americans in the mid-60's and the U.S. Mags in 1969. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

They sure looked cool on that Nova.

Great vintage mag style wheel.

Your Torq-Thrust seem to be the color of my 7x14.

Hey Ryan, yes I do have the centers. On one of the American centers an "ear" is broken but can still be installed to look correct!

Well, you guys are no help!!:wink: I guess I could keep them as a "day two" look?? The tires I have on the car now won't fit in the rear because of the backspacing on the Americans. I can't remember what size I had before but the 275-60-15's barely fit now!!

I just bought a set of 215/70 R15 Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring A/S blackwall radials...they would fit fine and look good on those wheels.

Better yet...sell them to me and I'll put them on one my Novas :laugh::laugh:
