New (old) wheels on the Runner

[droptop]

I found a set of vintage Torq Thrust wheels for the Road Runner. What do you think? I like them a lot better than the stock '80 wagon wheels.

That looks very cool!
I like!

Really can't go wrong with Torq Thrust wheels.

IMO, Torque Thrust wheels look good on ANY car!

Those were what I wanted for my car too but needed a custom backspacing for the rears (15X8 with 5.5" backspace) because of the wider rear axle so..........................................

leave them on

Agree with "they look good on any car".

I always thought the Torq-Thrust wheels were a copy of the Cragar S/Ss (too many s es in there), but have grown to like them more than the S/Ss. Very old school, and very, very cool.

Is there a name for those wheels? Those are the wheels I was talking about in relation to the older F body wagon pcture. Are they 14" or 15"?

I think they are officially called Cast Aluminum Wheels.
