Torq Thrust Wheels: American Racing's Five-Spoke, Original to Modern

American Racing's Torq Thrust has been the five-spoke of American performance cars since the 1960s. The family now runs from the Original's grey spokes and the classic D to the one-piece II and the M, drawn for later cars and larger diameters. Each comes in several widths and bolt patterns.

Tires for a Restomod: Raised White Letters or Modern Summer Grip
Two ways to shoe an older car. A raised-white-letter radial keeps the look of the period on original-size wheels. A modern summer tire on a larger wheel changes how the car stops and turns, and suits a build with upgraded brakes and suspension. Each model comes in many sizes.
