Anyone try these? Quality??? Don't see them around at all and thought it might be a nice alternative to TT2s.

Just ordered new wheels. The local dealer could not get my preferred Edelbrock 409s in 17x8 (only 16x8), so I ordered Eagle Alloys Series 211 with mounted new tires from www.1010tires.com... (http://www.1010tires.com...) http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

I was thinking of these same wheels for my 66 Chevelle (or the Intro Vistas, but they are a little more expensive).

I spoke with Edelbrock, and they said the wheels (17X8) will fit on the Chevelle, because they put them on their 67 Chevelle...

They have a classic 5-spoke design...

I originally wanted Torque Thrusts, but they are everywhere...

There is a TC'er with a black / white stripe 71 (I believe) thats running these but I think hes running 15's, maybe 16's. Anyhow, they look bad arse to me! I have his ride as my wallpaper. Spicey lookin pieces. Little bit of new school with an old school chaser. I dig em.

Tony, great choice for your ride. Would be sweet to see those. The vistas are pretty gnarly too, I was thinking about 18's on mine after the brake / spindle change.

Life is a gateway drug that leads to Chevelle addiction.

I have them on mine (black 71 thatM/M was talking about). I have 15x8 15x7's...I've gotten a ton of complements this summer. And I haven't seen another car with them!..yet

Yeah! I knew it was you, just forgot. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif

Saaaawwwweeeeet!

My thoughts exactly Midnight!

quote "I originally wanted Torque Thrusts, but they are everywhere..." yep they are the belly button cragar SS of Y2K but they are sweet looking. I can geet AR rims for damn near wholesale through a friend but instead I bought Weld Rodlites just because I don't see them on street machines too often. I love the look. only 15" for my budget though. DAVE

rossy,
those rodlites are nice looking wheels, and as soon as i can get my hands on some they are going on my 71 chevelle. I figured they will make my car stand out even more. It's in the body shop now, zinc yellow w/black racing stripes, with BF Goodrich T/A's. 275/60/15 on back, 225/70/15 on front. Do you have any pic's yet? Would love to see the car with those rodlites on. Thanks

Crossy,
Did you ever get your rodlites? I was wanting to see the pic's if you did, thanks

I like some of the new Edelbrock wheels but what I don't like is the little plastic tag on the front of the wheel that says Edelbrock, to me that ruins a clean wheel and is just cheesey advertising.

Crossy, reproduction Torq Thrust wheels are every where, the vintage Torq Thrust are a different story. The vintage wheels don't look anything like the reproduction wheels other than the fact they have five spokes.
