Wheel repair; Dumb idea?

[Lynn]

Not even going to repair the wheel with the broken screws. It is a copy of the original torque thrust wheels. The spokes don't match the other three wheels.

I picked up a pair of torque thrust wheels locally that a guy has had in his attic for the last 40 years. Identical size, width and offset as the ones on the car. Really nice condition.

Did American Racing ever paint the centers gold? I am thinking not. Will likely clean all four wheels up and paint them all gray. I need to install the new master cyl and replace the rear wheel cylinders, so will wait until I have all the parts to do the wheels.

I included a photo of one of the wheels that came on the car to show the color. I am thinking that is the color I want for the centers.

Painting the spokes gold was a fairly common occurrence around here in the mid 70's. I did that with the AR's on my Black '70 454 Chevelle. They looked so cool, they were stolen not long after. Maybe those are my old ones he's been hiding....
