Hi Guys
I have been going crazy trying to find a nice set of aftermarket wheels that will fit my 65 F100... I am looking for a 5 spoke TORQ THRUST type wheel.
Do you guys know where I can find any & does anyone know what offset our wheels are??
thanks for all your help!

FYI: They don't make the Torque Thrust wheels in the stock Ford bolt pattern 5/5.5. You may can find some that are similar or you can use adapters from the 5/5.5 to 5/4.5 pattern.

I stand corrected. Must be a new product. Note the estimated ship date: 3/21/2012.
Glad to hear they're coming to the party...late, but better than never.

does anyone know if they make any sort of rim like that with 8 lugs for a 1965 f250. Also what is the bolt pattern for the 8 lug 65 F250

There are no decent looking aftermarket wheels for an F250. Almost makes me want to change it over to 5 lugs. I'd much rather have a Ford 9" than the Dana 60 too. I would probably go with some 16" Cragar S/S wheels.

gas4blood, what size are your rims, and tires? If they are 8" on back, did you use a different offset?
Torq Thruster

I just got my new Torq Thrusters from discount tire. When they ordered them for me American Racing told them they had the 1 piece wheels 15x7 & 15x8 on 5 on 5.5. Discount charged me 195 for 15x8 and 185 for the 15x7. 2 days later American Racing Wheels called discount and told them they did not have the 5 on 5.5. Discount told them they had to come up with something because I had already payed for them. AR said they could build some costum ones but they would be 2 piece wheels and cost more. Discount ate the extra cost since I had already payed for them.

Rrrrright... AR just started making TTs that are 5/5.5.......
Ford and Dodge just started using 5/5.5 on there trucks too.....

So the stock wheel is 5x5.5. Is there a required offset for either the front or rear wheels? Or does it not matter with drum/drum brakes?
