Wow! I like the look. Is that a Torque Thrust D or something similar?

Haha pretty cool looking!

Those aren't bullitt wheels, looks like some sort of aftermarket torque thrust-ish design.

I hope they came with some Tricked Flow 302 inside as well
cause just the wheels won't do it

They aren't Torq-Thrustish, they are Torq-Thrusts. ;)

Looks good. What's the bore size?

They will look good on your Chevy.

I've always wondered what Torq-Thrusts would look like on an E28, and it's nice to see I'm not crazy for thinking they'd look fantastic. Thanks!

Dunno. No bore specs on the American Racing site and my dial calipers won't fit in there to measure it. Bigger than an E28's bore, though!

Since they're not 5x120, and you don't know the bore size, I assume this is just a photo op? :)

I've wondered what they would look like on an e28 as well - not bad at all. They are my favorite hot rod wheel.

Love it! but upon closer inspection it looks like your lugs are not all the way in(maybe my failing eyesight). Is this just seeing how they look? And yes I am one of those I wonder what it would look like too guys. Looks frikkin wicked mon! :alright:

Bring on the fuzzy dice hangin' from the rearview mirror, and a set of "Moon" stickers for each side!

If they are chevy car wheels which are 5x4.75" they will bolt on, but the center bore will be wrong, I think they look pretty bitchin!

I want to see some pics of the 4-door '57 chev in the back ground please!

5 x 4.75 is close, but not close enough.

Sorry, folks, no more pics with this setup -- it was only on for 10 minutes and only the one wheel was on. It was all just a tease! Sorry, bkbimmer -- the '57 ain't really photo worthy these days.

Yes, your eyesight is failing. The lugs were fully seated.

Curious as to why you won't run these all 4 corners?

But thanks for the tease Anyway.

I love the look of those man!

I like' em! They'd look great with those titanium lugs.
