autodrags or torq thrust wheels

[33 IMP]

Jeez Doug, those heavy wheels have to be slowing you down! Only 9.00? Put some super tricks on it, guarantee 8.999. Lol, teasing, LOVE your ride!

I always liked the American Torque Thrust for the more vintage look on my 63 but I also do like the looks of the Super Tricks. I never realized they were that much lighter. I have to agree with Doug (DVW) as even my street car can get a little air under the TT. LoL. Ron

well its vintage americans for me .

I like Halibrand's best

albeit not a racecar,
these on my RR below were from Edlebrock,
kidney slot Halibrand knockoff, light for what they are
with Radial T/A's with a real race tire & slicks they'd be a lot less weight
I've never even seen another set from Edelbrock on any other car

Got to love the old Super tricks anodized in gold. Does anyone know if there's places that still do it?

I too like the nostalgic TT look. I went with US wheel Standards, which are a copy of the original TT, and available in a black finish. The black is hard to see in pictures, but looks really cool in person. They’re heavy by race wheel standards, but my car is a street car at heart.

You couldn't have made a better wheel choice LW!

Got the centerlines on my 69 RR. You can dribble these like a basketball, that's how light they are.

Like Doug said, Americans are too heavy...
15x4 on the front. 15x10 on the rear.
9.863 with 160lbs in it to try to slow it down.

I was in the wheel manufacturing business from 1967 to 1985 and to my knowledge Edelbrock was never in the wheel business.....

see the little red label it says Edelbrock
they were purchased after your time I'm sure
probably in 2003-05-ish {?} they are Edelbrocks

hard to see blurry photo like normal

Autodrags are lightest of the 2
I prefer a 5 spoke rim , i have centreline qualifiers
Oh yes Edelbrock did have rims for a while .

hi all,
wondering if i can get your help on front wheel choice. Currently running centreline autodrags with MT ET fronts

id like a lighter wheel, and a friend has some american racing torq thrusts that hes selling.
im not a huge fan of the look of this wheel, but if they are lighter i may lol

anything else i should consider?
oh and its 15" im wanting

Definitely torque thrusts are the right wheel.
