Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
[ QUOTE ]
Oh boy, It's all going down hill now. Joe the rallys aren't going anywhere. Just wanted to do something different. Plus I think a set of mags will look nice doing down the track.  [/ QUOTE ] I agree a set of torq thrust mags would look cool, but not a set of "out of the box" ones from Summit Racing. Find a set of vintage 5 spokes with the "old school" spoke and lip design, and forget the BFG's. Bias-ply is the only way to fly!

I wanted them and could not find any good one worth trying to restore. Maybe i was looking in the wrong places. I bought the new American racing ones. They still look good!

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
Darren dare to be even more different! Get some Ansen Slots!
 Yeah, Yeah I know that is too radical for most here. If I were gonna choose between the two I would say for sure go with the Cragers. I would bet that more cars actually ran with them back in the day vs. the TT's. Oh yeah!! Joey is right.....DO NOT put them BFG's back on that car if you are doin' a wheel swap!

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
LOL
 Joey please don't hate just because I love Cragers! You love TT's just as much! A never ending battle between you and I!

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
I have to get some prints of some slides. This car had slots on it when we bought it.

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
Darren ole boy, Be crazy like me and have at LEAST 3 different tire and wheel combos. No matter what they say the tried and true Cragar SS is #1 on the list. Then the TT's, Slots, and Rallys.

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
If you put the Torque Thrusts on paint the centers and they will look much better. How about Minilites? I think they look great too and you never see them.

Re: Torq Thrusts or Cragars?
I think the TT's look awesomely
 on the car! Leave them the way they are...less hassle with cleaning, too!Make sure you post some more pictures of your car, once you get the engine back together!
