American Racing Torq Thrust R 15/7 pics

yes I was lucky enough find these over this past year....

 

don't get me wrong, i love these wheels. my dad has 1 in the barn. but why are we talking about them, they aren't H.A.M.B. friendly.

 

x2!

 

I've always liked these wheels, but never saw many as a kid. When the lotto strikes, I plan to get a narrow set for my truck w/Excelsiors and knock-offs. Possibly with a gold painted centers. I think that's as close as I can get to a repop Indy roadster mag on my budget. Gary

 

H.A.M.B friendly? I never even knew about these wheels til I started reading the H.A.M.B. 5 years ago... They're the stuff of legend around here...I dig all 5 spokes...

is it traditional for me to like, or not like them? i'm confused. i want not to hate them? let me be clear, i like to dislike them not. this is hard.

 

Truly you have engaged yourself in a traditional quest for enlightenment, humble gr***hopper.

 

That's groovy man....

 

Hmmmmmm....there alright.

 

Jeez just guessing, but I'm thinking the year of manufacture would make them non-traditional. Long as your happy though.

 

Missed this thread the first time around. I used to run an original set on my old (OT) daily driver. I still have them (wheels, not the truck)
Sorry for the truck, it's the only picture I have of the wheels...

 

Bad*** knows no age or cl***ification....Sharp spokes w/rib,clean center,these wheels are just cool.
