Torque Thrust II vs Torque Thrust "D" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mark25 · 04-25-2002, 03:26 PM

can't decide on the American Racing Torque Thrust II (fully polished) or the Torque Thrust "D" with gray center. my truck is a '72 Cheyenne Super orange/white 2wd. anybody got any pics of the 2 different styles on our trucks?????

Sorry, can't help ya with pics, but go to Early Classic Enterprises website, they have an Orange and White 72 with the polished. As far as my vote, that is a tough call. EVERYBODY has the polished, although I think with an orange, the flat center wouldn't look right. So I guess in my opinion, go with the polished! Or better yet, step up to some B. Coddington's!

**Desert Rat** · 04-25-2002, 06:44 PM

I have some 20's custom made out of a chunk of billet aluminum $$$$$$$.i wouldnt go with torque thrust unless you like seeing your rims on other truck,go with something different,but not the cragar ss.the american coke bottle style "daisy"style rim is cool.

How about a 17 inch billet rally. Big rim looks with classic style.

anybody looked at the new Salt Flat Special by American Racing??? what ya think????

paintpyro · 04-25-2002, 07:23 PM

I like it. It kinda looks like an old Halibrand. Budnik and Billet Specialties both have a billet wheel kinda like it, one is the Muroc(almost looks exactly like it), the Rodical from B.S. gives it a bit of a twist.

I prefer the polished Torq Thrust II's on our trucks, but Torq Thrust D's on 60's cars
