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

Re: Question about Torque Thrust Wheels
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!

Re: Question about Torque Thrust Wheels
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.

Re: Question about Torque Thrust Wheels
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

Re: Question about Torque Thrust Wheels
Jason - Do the caps push in from the front (plastic) or the rear(metal). If from the front, yes they are 1970's vintage. I have a set of American Spirit wheels on my corvette that has the same type of push in cap. I also have an original American Wheel catalog from the 1970's, and it lists the push in type caps for some wheels. But it does say to supply them until they run out and then issue the screw in and also the push-in from the rear type caps (metal). I have been successful getting replacement caps from a guy that is now located in California. He sometimes has ADs in Hemmings. If you wish, I can get you his address.

Re: Question about Torque Thrust Wheels
I am not sure if they push in through the back or the front as I do not have the caps. The address would be nice.
Thanks, Jason
