Even more convinced than ever that all the cool mag wheels are in Texas...

 

American Torq Thrust R 15/7 Ford B/P

 

T70-R 15/7 American 5 Spokes

 

Wanted: 200S (Daisy 5 spoke) mag wheels Chevy 4 3/4 inch bolt pattern. No uni lugs. 14x6, 15x6,7,8 inch what do you have?

 

59 f100 with 8 1/2s all around, actually only ran them on one side as I had whitewalls and steel painted black on the driver side

 

Recent barn find, (no, really!)...set of four, original, date-coded, '69-'70 factory Kelsey Hayes Shelby Mustang 5-spokes...:

 

Vintage American Racing T70 15/7

 

Here is my 1961 Ford Fairlane. FE powered, New torq thrust originals. 15x5 front 15x7 rear.

 

I just found these for very reasonable cost and tried them on my Chevy. They are 14x7 and I think they might be Keystones. Tight fit with front discs, had to put 5mm spacers to clear the caliper. Quite tight also at rear. Plans are to maybe sandblast the centers(and maybe paint them dark gray) and polish the rim.

 

Many years ago,my 63 1/2 Falcon,Keystone 5 spokes. HRP

 

Hey Buddy take it from someone who cleans and polish's a lot of the old 5 spoke, don't sand blast them, wash and clean them with some good dish soap, then clean them with some Wheel Acid, you may have to acid them a few times then it is time to remove the old paint with some paint remover, the kind you bush on and let it set till the paint soften then wash and scrub the old paint off, then polish the outer rim like you what, I use Mother Hand polish and a buffer wheel on a 3-8 hand drill, small area at a time till you have the whole rim polished and then after you have them polished like you want clean them with soapy water and rinse them off and let them air dry. After you have them nice and clean tape off the polished rim and then you can paint the spoke area the color that you want. I know it sounds like a lot of work but you will be very happy with the finished wheel. Just a helpful way to do them, when you sand blast you take a chance of hitting the outer rim and it will take forever to get them polish back to a smooth surface.

 

Love them 5 spokes!
Ok, so the coupe's are mag not aluminum but they are 5 spokes.
And i have to admit, the 57 now wears chrome steelies.
I no longer own the black 63, but i kept the wheels. Lol
Ive had other cars with them but dont have pics of them on this.
