    The torque thrust is basically the classic car version of the RPF1. They look good on everything so you see them on everything.

    American Racing: 1970, Pete Brock, John Morton, BRE Datsun, AR Libre wheels. A wheel for the guys with Japanese imported 4-bangers and 4 lugs. Not the Torque Thrust, but still iconic.

    @hectorramirez4464 11 месяцев назад

    I have the Shelby version with the mag-grey middle and I will say that their powder coating is garbage. American Racing does not clear coat their powder coating and the rims oxidize. This is what I am dealing with currently. And because it’s a 2-piece rim, they powder coat before assembly, my powder coater is having difficulties. For how much they cost I’m disappointed with American Racing and wish I went with a different company.

My brother purchased the same style of rims from American Muscle and they have not pitted in the same environment. They are probably also made in china ...but better.
