Nothing like a new set of wheels! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Very Tasty!
I've had my eye on that style wheel for a while, but had myself convinced I wanted to keep chevy ralleys on it for a more stock apperance. You may have tilted my scale!

I think American Racing hit the nail right on the head with the design of the Torq-Thrust II. There is not a car or truck around that doesn't look good with these wheels. I can remember back when all you could get was Cragar SS or Aluminum slots. I am going back to Discount Tire tomorrow to order some more Torq-Thrusts and T/A Radials for my 1963 Grand Prix.

Awesome!!!

Here, I took the liberty of making an avtar for you.

jmil1974 · 01-24-2003, 10:21 AM

I normally am not a fan of the TT or TT2s, but they suit your truck (and most of ours) very well. Nice!

Those rims definitely are awesome and look great on our trucks. Whats the info on your engine? What a beautiful truck - you should be proud!

Old Chevy Lover · 01-24-2003, 10:58 AM

Those tires/wheels fill out the wheel openings perfectly... If you don't mind me asking, what's a ballpark figure on what that combo cost?

Castiron9 · 01-24-2003, 12:24 PM

Very nice looking rig..................

Lookin' good Dave!!

Gene · 01-24-2003, 07:17 PM

Nice truck Dave! Makes me wanna get some for mine but I have too much in my Billet Centerlines. I love that Blue/White/Blue paint also. I guess i'm predjudiced though cause mine is that same color! Its nice to see different wheel tire combos on a truck just like yours so you have an idea of what looks good.

Here's mine from the side.

BraveDave · 01-24-2003, 07:25 PM

Gene, our trucks are twins! is that a 4" - 6" drop or what? that's exactly where i want mine.

BraveDave · 01-24-2003, 07:26 PM

P.S., Gene - My grandparents live in Stonewall. I used to hang out in Ada, Ardmore, Madill, Tishimingo, Hugo, etc....

billogna · 01-24-2003, 11:04 PM

Looks great, love the wheels and the truck, had to change my desktop!

Gene · 01-24-2003, 11:21 PM

Yeah Dave they are almost twins lol. I think yours is a super though right?

The drop is 2/3 it looks lower because of my short tires. I have 295/50/15's spread out on 15x10 rims. You may have to go lower because of your rim size maybe?

neonlarry · 01-24-2003, 11:26 PM

I tried some 6 lug wheels just like that on mine, and the whole in the center of the wheels was too small for them to fit, even on the back

Is theere a difference in the axle other than just a different number of lugs? I measured a 5 lug and a 6 lug version of the wheels, and there is no difference there.

Gene · 01-24-2003, 11:27 PM

Have been to a few of those towns Dave. Where exactly is Spring? Is it close to Ft. Worth? I make a yearly pilgrimage there in march to the Texas race

Myride · 01-25-2003, 01:07 AM
