group buy on torque thrust wheels..idea.

[chrispy1971gtx]

I just acquired a 69 340 swinger and was wanting to add a set if vintage TQ wheels. Seems they are hard to find or not available in 14x6 on a 4" pattern.

What's everyone's thought on a group buy, if its possible. I'm thinking AMR or ET only in a 14x6 or 14x7.

ET Wheels already make them but not in the 14" rim. Lots of choices. Check their site. Bobby

I know. But I was hoping to use vintage redlines...which is hard to do on a 15. Hence..specifically stating a 14" rim.

If you want to use red lines they should go on a factory type wheel

Im thinking its gonna be hard to talk people into 14" wheels now days. Most of the time at swap meets people have to almost give 14" wheels away.

I would be interested in a set of 14" wheels.

talk to 4 wheel manufacturers, old and new alike. Looks like Cragar is thinking of dropping the 14" 5on4 SS wheels.

Trying to see if they will recast the Swinger S/X aluminum wheels. Would love to see them cast as a pre-buy, or group buy.

I would also like to see more 14 in 5x4 available. I dont want to go to 15 in wheels. I have been looking for wheels for a 66 Valiant 2 dr that I am working on. I will be staying with the Mopar Rally wheels. I dont see enough choices that are available at this time. I hope there will be more new wheels available in the future.

Here is who I spoke to with Cragar. Maybe if people would express interest with the idea that 64-72 A-body owners who would like to keep their stock brake and BP, but limited in wheel well size, want a 14in. wheel...something other than the S/S wheel, but retro.

Ansen, and Centerline are only thing else available.

I did get a message back from ET-Wheel also. They can drill for 4" BP, but stuck with 15" wheels. A 205/215-60/65 tire is just about an E70-14.
