Owners of half polished Team III's ?
1 Attachment(s)
Hello, if anyone has photo's of their half, polished Team III wheels on their cobra, please post them, e-mail them to me or direct me to your gallery. I'm trying to decide between them or keeping my Torque thrust "D" wheels ? Any opinions are welcome. One good thing about the "D"s are, I haven't seen any yet....on a cobra. They weren't used on cobras but, are "period correct", Mustangs ect.. anyway. You can view my gallery to see the "D"s on my car. What do you guys think ?
Thanks |

Kevin,
Tough call. The torque thrust D's look good.( I went to your gallery for a beter pic.) I remember those wheels as being THE wheel to have on your muscle car and they were a top choice for me when I was putting my cobra together. I wound up with 5 bolt Hallibrands with pollished rims and the inner part brushed. For my taste the team III's have to much "Chrome". Of the 2 styles my vote is for the Torque Thrust's But it's your car. Do what makes you happy :) Harvey R |
Kevin,
I would vote for the Torque Thrust D's. That's what I wanted for my car but American Racing couldn't custom make them with the offset that I need for my car. I had to go to Torque Thrust II's with painted centers. I haven't seen them, as they haven't come in yet! I'm going to visit the shop this Thursday and they should have the new wheels and tires on by then. I like the D's. They are period correct. They are a classic just like the Cobra. I used to have a '66 Corvette with a set of Torque Thrust D's. MH |
I really like the "D"s. I guess I miss the spinners. If I keep them, I'll polish the outer rim, should look cool like chrome. I know we can order a custom off-set for $50 per wheel. With a new 10" wheel I'll need apx. 4" to 4-1/2" back spacing. I have 3-3/4" now. I'll call & see.
Thanks guys ! |
I have Team III's but only the outer rim is polished. The "spokes" are flat but I did polish the spinners myself.

Same here. I like the look, but that is all that matters. Whatever you like, go with it! |
Team III, same as Wayne and Cowtown. Polished spinners. Flat spokes are easier to keep clean.

They do look great guys !
Update on the "D"s.....no choise on back settings, 3-3/4" or nothing. So...it means different wheels. I have looked at a company that makes Torque Thrust look a likes, a more up to date version. If I can find them again, I'll post their name & maybe a pic. |

The Co. is called Vintage Wheel Works. (www.vintagewheelworks.com)
Several sizes & off-sets and a few different caps, even spinners. They also have customer cars photo's. Please take a look when you have time & give me your thoughts. |
Just called Vintage, in the "45" series wheels (thrust D look a like) they only make 6",7" & 8" wheels, no 15x10"s. But do in the 17"
BUMMER ! |
Look's like it's Team III for my new wheels. I've looked up past posts here on CC, seems like it takes a long time to recieve your wheels & spinners ? Other than buying from Team III, is their any other business that would be cheaper and get the wheels faster ?
Thank you. |
