i am looking for a new set of the torq thrust d wheels. i currently have a set and have problems with te center cap and the size of them. i still want the same style but i want to go to a 15in rim istead of a 14. i dont know if i want the machined lip or the polished and what sixzes to get. also where to get the whole set for a reasonable price.

Very standard wheel.

Check with American Racing.

but where do i get a good price.
these were so old that the new wheel caps dont fit.they came off a 66 shelby gt 350 that a friend has. and i broke a bolt off in one of them the other day and now i just want to get a new set to make them nice and pretty again.

Look around NewstalgiaWheel, they have a lot of product and decent prices.

68torinogt · Sep 18, 2006

i also think im going to go with the drag radials this time.

68torinogt · Sep 18, 2006

im thinking the torq thrust II's with a custom colored center and flat aluminum caps in 15 inch with drag radials on the back.

anymore sugestions on wheels?

no im not going to sell them due to the fact that they were given to me from a friend that didnt have to give them to me so im going to give them back or put them away.

but due to the expense of fixng them i have decided to look for some new ones but there are so many of this basic style that im having a hard time choosing. what wheels do you think?

i really like the straight spoke of the original torq thrust, like you have. i don't like the curved spoke of the D or II as much.

the vintage wheel V-40 is a straight spoke design available in 15 and larger.

Well, first let me say I love Torinos !! They are a larger car than a Mustang and in my opinion need a nice big wheel/tire combo. If I had your car and wanted torg-thrust, I would use the Torg-Thrust II "classic" design in a 17x7 up front and maybe a 18 or 19 in back !! If you wanna wander from the torg-thrust a little, I also like the ARE salt flats with the darker center. My favorite wheel is the PSE GT-40 that I have on my '65 !! They would be killer on your car. I think you should go 17" or bigger. Here are a couple of links.

and if im really ballsy

almost all of these come with machined or polished lip but i think i want polished i dont think it would hold up good unless its polished

damannhw · Sep 26, 2006

Be reeaaaallllly ballsy !!!!!!!!! Those last wheels in 17's would "MAKE" your car. You will not believe the difference in driving and looks if you do ! Go for it. You can always put your current wheels back on when you want the "retro" look for a day or two

68torinogt · Sep 26, 2006

but its alot of cash for something i just dont know about.

68torinogt · Sep 26, 2006

the vintage wheel V40's i posted or the straight spoke americans in the middle would be my choice. i really like the look if the straight spoke ones you have now and if you were to do those in 15" all the better. i wouldn't do 17's on your car, it looks nice and stock like it is even with the wheels you have and i'd prefer to keep it that way myself. hell even a 15" GT wheel would look good on your car.

here's what i would do, the straight spoke wheel with a 15x8 or 15x9 in the back with a 295/50-15 and 15x7 up front with a 235/60-15 to give it the look of bigs-n-littles and with enough tread on the ground to still handle really well and enough sidewall that you still have a good ride too.

If you took a good side shot of your car, it would be easier to photoshop in some different wheels and see how they look.
