American Racing - Torq Thrust D -- Old vs. New ?

-
Might had been just a fad I guess? When everyone and their brother wants something seems that something is always expensive. Like a new arrival of the latest Playstation for example. Then time goes on... nobody wants it... and the price drops. Just a guess.
 
That is a good price. I'm not an authority on them but at that kind of difference I might suspect where they are made or possibly over stocked.
 
I am old school and those are my type wheels. bought 2 few weeks ago. great price, free shipping, I could not go wrong. now, if I could get some mini lites for that price.
 
I just. Bought four. 7's and 8's. Fit and finish is excellent and the balanced very nicely.

Torque thrust D's
 
ya when items don't move , they move to the sale rack , that rim design has been around for some years now , could be on the chopping block , i've seen other designs get dropped by american racing equipment . but now its american racing performance . selling american racing equip rims . it would be nice to see some different offsets used besides a 1'' pos 15v8.5 , they would fit more of the vintage cars . i'm talking one piece design rims of course .
 
barrbee6043 , mini lites , the vintage version like they ran on the t/a's on the road course . flat center lug area with eight spokes ?

the old ones look better than the new ones , that have a curve to the spokes,---I think. the thing I don`t like about them is their weight.

New ones being torque thrust two?

The ones I bought, torque D, the same as the original torque thrust, appears to be the same design in every way as the original. Also I find that the steel wheels are heavier than these?

American Muscle also dropped the price of their 17x8 bullitt wheels so it might be do to more people going more toward the pro-touring style wheels over the 5 spokes
 
the vintage rim guys call them , '' new breads '' . and barbee6043 , those rims minilites were the rim that was run on the 76 n 77 t/a challengers , internet at my fingers showed them both running them . but i think those were magnesium versions on them . i have a pair of 15v8.5 , but no set . could post pics , if wanted ?
