Default Original Vintage 1970s Torq Thrust Peak Spoke 15x8.5" Wheels

I have owned these wheels for years but have come to realize 15x7s would work better on my car without altering the ride height.

I bought these in 1998, in California, from a guy who was putting a 1968 Corvette road racer back to stock condition. I have never cleaned them but they have the original finish on the spokes and are very dusty from being stored all this time. Cool old Dunlop Made-in-England road race tires are still on the wheels, but are too worn and dry rotted to use.

I would trade these for an exceptionally nice pair of 15x7 peak-spoke Americans or sell outright for $900. Pics below:

Sorry James, this was for a pair, thought I had mentioned it in the ad but I see I hadn’t....

The wheels have been sold.

Agreed...the early 8.5" wheels work great on the '68-72 Vettes.
