Default American Racing The Original Torq Thrust

The first wheels were made out of magnesium, the aluminum wheels did not show up until latter on. The first wheels used a rounded spoke. The more common style spoke did not show up until the early 60s. A trademark of the Americans is the beveled edge near the spokes. Some of the magnesium wheels do not say American Racing Equipement on the back side of the wheel. The 15X6 wheels do not say Torq Thrust on the back side.
