narrow American Racing Torque Thrust wheels

cars like that will be the death of the Rat Rod movement!

..did I say that out loud?

I love that '80s big and little stance!

 

A set of these would make any car look good

 

Those are nice wheels. You're lucky to have them.

The wheel on the left is the magnesium American 15 by 4. The wheel on the right looks like a magnesium 15 by 10.

In the '60s, American Racing only made those sizes of five-spokes in magnesium.

Really old thread but wondering if anyone has seen a set of 18" (torq thrust) in a nice narrow 4 inch for fronts?

I am thinking I will have to have a set of 18x8 narrowed to 18x4.

 

The Team III Aluminum 15x4 torque Thrust is a one piece wheel. I have had a pair in my hands. A friend of mine lent team III a magnesium American 15x4 Torque Thrust to look at so they could make the new wheel. It has a thick oval shaped outer lip that I machined flat and then polished it.
I would say the original magnesium 15x4 wheel has a round spoke American made the 5 lug and a Spindle mount with this design. The 15x4 & 6" Lemans with a flat spoke.
By the way Opinions are like butts but why ram your thoughts to put down the guy who actually has a car on the road.
You can see some of my wheel information at www.torquethrustcentral.com I only talk about Vintage or Vintage style aftermarket Aluminum & Magnesium wheels. Terry

 

Wow! You are the torque thrust guy, I know you deal with vintage but do you know of an 18x4 torque thrust besides custom narrowed? I am in the hunt for a pair.

Thanks for any help.

 

I had trouble with my pictures so I am trying again.Terry

 

the 14s are just right,LET IT BE

 

Buy some with the spokes you like and have them cut to the width you like.

 

I've had mine on the Center Door since 2000, 15" x 41/2"

 

Contact Greg Shelton he might have some.

 

I had a set of 18 OEM mustang wheels looked at by http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/ to see if they could cut them down. But since they "bell" out they said they could only get them down to 6".

Are the aftermarket wheels straight across?

 

Thanks for the tip

 

look at my american spindle mounts under search anglia I also have them on my gasser Austin with disc brakes
