Yeah, OK, you meant the wheel.........

I guess you did, or else you would have said, "How about these."

Joe said he's sure it isn't an International.

Then maybe it's a Kenworth....

Foremost? Was that a J C Penney brand?

[/ QUOTE ]You're thinking AF/X...which also made a Torq Thrust knock off, but I think they had an aluminum face on a steel rim, like some Keystones.

Tell me more about these AF/X's, as I have a pair of old-school, sharp spoked wheels with a steel rim. There is nothing on the back.

Were Atlas wheels an alum. face on a steel rim?

I think the Atlas wheel was all aluminum. Weren't they actually cast from the American TorqueThrust?

JC Penny's had a brand called AF/X Racing Team. They had wheels, slicks, headers, tachs etc. I believe they were made by different manufactures for the catalog giant. BBBenny has a killer pair of slicks that have the Foremost JC Penney name on them. I have an AF/X Dixco Tach also. Used to shop there in late 68 before we had enough money to buy speed equipment from the real "speed shops." Around 35 years later we finally realized it was pretty much the same parts for a little less money.

The original owner of my black L78 Chevelle ran 14" JCPenney Cheater Slicks when he ran in B Stock. He then moved on to M&H Racemasters.
