Default Re: Which Torque Thrust Wheels for 69 Camaro?

The new (past ten years or so) Torque Thrust Originals (TTO) look best to me. American also makes the "crows foot" style of disc-brake wheel that's been around since the '90s. It has a rounder spoke vs. the "creased" spokes on the TTO. Depends on your car's stance and wheel widths as to what tires will fit but a 15x7 wheel would probably allow a good selection of tires. Get the diameter and width measurements of the tire and then make a cardboard mock-up and see how it fits in the wheel wells.

ET also makes a new-design five-spoke vintage wheel as does Vintage Wheel Works (V45). My advice would be that if you went with TTOs you should fog some argent silver flake spray paint over the spokes so they appear vintage. It really makes a difference.

----Bill,,,I got a rattle-can of knock-off wheel paint from Long Island Corvette and gave a set of new TTs a coat and they looked awesome! I also had the rims polished. Wish I had that set back......Bill S
