    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.

    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.
