aftermarket wheels

[Don M.]

Guys, I would like to find a set of wheels that look period correct for my 67 Roadster. I like the torque Thrust, but they don't make a wheel that clears the disc brake calipers. I want 15x6, I don't want any clearance issues. I found a set of american racing made in the 60s, they look good, BUT very expensive. How about some ideas. Thanks

Re: aftermarket wheels

I wanted the same "classic" look and found that Appliance wheels fit without spacers. I know they make them in 15 x 7.
They have a beveled rear plate that fits disc brakes.

I'm not sure why you have concluded that the AR Torq Thrust wheels do not clear the calipers. These are 15 x 6".

You can also run Torque Thrust II's in 17x7 inch size with a 245/45/17 tire if you are looking for a classic look with modern rubber technology.
