Re: American Racing Torque Thrusts - what vintage?
I have a set of 14 x 7s on my Nova. Two are like the ones pictured at the top and the other two are just a bit earlier without the extra machining (which I believe allows use with disc brakes). I'd place them in the late 60's era. Like Bill said, 14" TTs aren't too popular any more because 14" tires are hard to find. I'd take all the 14" TTs I could find though. Those look to be in very good shape, although the spokes look too dark to me. The finish on the wheels Bill shows are more period-correct. Just my personal preferrence.
But be careful with the center caps. The new caps offered for the TTDs won't fit on the vintage wheels. I'm not sure if the caps for the new TTOs use the vintage bolt pattern or if they kept the new pattern for the TTDs.
If those caps are good and you want a correct American Racing insert send me a PM and I'll hook you up with someone who can help.
