I just have a question Does anyone know about these rims? are they worth it? they are a great price.. just wondering if anyone has ever used em and if anyone would recomend them my motor is running 300-400 hp do you need a fairly strong rim? or will the avarage joe rwd rim work? don't know how strong these are.. but its a large company would they make crap? hmmmm yeah ok thanks all! chow for now. oh yeah anyone got any recomendations on tired for them? i am getting a 15x 8 rim street only car. want some nice rubber.

American Racing is the brand, what model are you looking at? You dont need anything special with 300-400 horsepower.

the outlaw ll's i love the look.

I like the American Racing Torque Thrust D rims. They have that Cragar SS look, but with the smokey grey spokes rather than the chrome that pits in under a week!

I like weld draglites on Dustersand Darts. The T-thrust II's in 17" look cool on a-bodies also. Please dont run crager ss, keystone classics, or slot mags, their are so many nice wheels on the market, no reason.

what is my bold patern? its a 17 duster 8 1/4 is it 4.5? i know its 5 lug..

[Dartcustom]

in 71 i believe they were still 4" (small pattern), If you have an 8-1/4 it is probably 4.5" Measure to make sure.

i have the torque thrusts on my challenger and 02 mustang gt. i love em. they have that nostalgia look. i get complements all the time.problem is im seeing them more and more on other cars. hope it doesn't get old

If it's for handling, the Toyo Proxis are the best available in a D.O.T. tire.

Hi there 6 pak, are you using 15 inch wheels and if you are what kinda backspacing are you using and with what tire front and rear. I am looking at draglite xp,s but having a heck of a time deciding backspacing for my 73 barracuda. I was thinking 15 by 8 or 9 on the rear and maybe 15 by 7 on the front, thanks your reply would be hugely appreciated, tim

Yeah, Crager SS's look gay unless they are 10's or deeper, and those Keystones, C'mon! Only on a Cougar, and that is only because the car is uglier than the rims! I like the D's but the new 'Stangs are wearing them out. Arent they stock on the new GT's? Dragstars are cool, satin Centerlines are mandatory on a big bad black B-Body. Rallye's are understated but respected, especially the 15X10's, it is a cool steel rim.
