Pics: New Torque Thrust D clones for my 67
 

I just got my brand-new Torque Thrust D clones from PS Engineering! PSE calls them their Trans Am wheel. Size is 15X7, with 4-inch backspacing and zero offset. Can hardly wait to get tires on these and see how they look on my 67 roadster. Yippee!

I just LOVE the thin, straight spokes and the overall look on a Sting Ray. These are the closest I've found to original American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels from the 60s. Call me Happy. :) :) :) :) :)

All four, one with lug nuts

Very nice. :thumbs: Do you have a set of '67 ralleys for sale?

Nope. The new wheels will have my autocross tires on them, and my rallys will be for my street tires.

How many C3s are there on Guam?

Very nice. I like the period styling and size.

Louie,
Please post a picture after you get the tires mounted and the wheels on the car. Sweet looking. :cheers:

Can you give us an idea of price and does Phil Smith make them in 6-inch widths?

Rick -- I'll post pics for sure. My 67 is also Goodwood Green - Chevy's best color EVER. I was at the tire store today and ordered some tires to see if they will fit.

Louie

Louie,
Those are Saaaaweet..... :thumbs:

I second the "please post pic's when mounted"

SWEET!!! Gotta get a set!! Waht size tires you thinking??

About what did they cost??

:bigears I'm ready to make the plunge myself and TTDs is exactly what I have been thinking. Based on other threads I have pretty much decided on 15x7 with 3.75" BS. I haven't priced them yet so I am anxious to hear your response.

We have excellent taste! They will look great. :thumbs:

Good Choice!
 

Louis, Stop screwing around :toetap: and get those bad boys installed. :rofl: A set of red lines would set that goodwood green on fire.:thumbs:

PS: I have decided to leave the smaller steering wheel on for a while. If I change my mind you are first on the list to try it out.

Good Luck
Earl

Phil from P.S. eng. is a great guy and his wheels are a great value. We use his minilite reproductions for our road race inspired vettes. The machining is excellent. Well worth every penny spent for a quality set of wheels that fit right. You made the right choice.

I have those wheels in 15X8.5. Great wheels. I left mine in an as cast finish.

Louie,
Very nice! Those spoke bends should easily clear the calipers.

And what can I say about Goodwood Green....;)

those wheels are gorgeous!!! the nicest i have seen.

$$??

can you explain those center caps?? :cheers:

Those look great! :thumbs: A few questions:

Do they clear your calipers?

Can you order them drilled and tapped for American-style five-ear center caps?

Nice choice of wheels!:thumbs: Price?

I, too, appreciate the "back in the day" look of TT D's on a C2.:cheers:

Louie,

EXCELLENT choice! You're gonna luv the look. Gives just the right nostalgia look. Here's a couple of closeups of mine which are 15x6 and come to find out are true vintage Torque Thrust's. Click on the C2 registry for an overview look.

Thanks,
