Default Question about Torque Thrust Wheels

I bought a set of torque thrust straight spoke wheels the other day and they are unlike any I have seen before. They are real Americans but have push in caps rather than the 5 ear screw in caps. Has anyone seen these before. Any idea what years they were available?

Any help is greatly appreciated,


Jason

They are Chevy. I haven't decided what I am going to do with them yet. When I bought them I was told they were 14s. I measured them when I got home and it turns out they are 15s. BONUS!

Can I get some opinions on the value of these wheels? They are in great shape with no curb rash, etc. I have had quite a few inquiries about selling them. I have not decided if I want to sell them but if I do go that way I would like to know what they are worth.

They don't come up that often...they were built 1970 and later...hard to judge...I paid 500 for a set but they were 15x7 and 15x9

Get a hold of GTO DON. Don (the wheelman) White. He may have parts or where to get them. He also knows value.
