TORQ THRUST WHEELS, American Racing, Unrestored Original Set of 4 matching American Racing, Torq Thrust 15 x 8 ½ with 4 ¾’ bolt pattern. These were bought new in 1968. They have the valve stem on the machined lip. Torq Thrust wheels came out in 1963. These should be appropriate for our H.A.M.B. friendly time period. This set has no curb rash but does have some small nicks on the lips from 56 years of use. One wheel has some gouges on the inside hub bore (see photo) Apparently the wheel had an issue with a tire mounting machine or came loose at one time. This is not seen when mounted and does not affect the mounting of the wheel. The inside of the wheels look good with no sign of any type of “fix a flat” material or corrosion. The caps are included but they are a candidate to be replaced, one is cracked. All cap mounting screw holes are good. Most are 8-32 thread size but several have been tapped to 10-32. (I would standardize by drilling & taping all holes to 10-32 and buy new mounting screws if I was going to keep them.) Buyer to pay shipping. PAYPAL $1049
