Okay guys. Enough with the insults. He got the point.

I kinda like the Torq-Thrust style on 55-57's but I know you said no 5-spoke.

If I ever find them at a good price, I'm getting a set of these old time gray centered Torque Thrusts for my '46. I think I'll keep the steelies too for when I'm feeling "retro-cruiser" instead of "hot rodder"

Halibrand Sprints looked wicked on a black vehicle. My personal favorite. For less bucks, polished Slat Flat Specials look nice, too.
