This 15x10 American Racing Torq-Thrust D wheel features a 5 on 5 bolt pattern, for use on many Chevrolet and GMC trucks. This VN605 Torq-Thrust D wheel features a brilliant chrome finish for quick and easy clean up and a show winning look. It features 3.77 inches of backspacing, which translates to a -44 offset. This offset allows fitment on many classic trucks and muscle trucks. Torq-Thrust wheels feature a one-piece cast aluminum construction, and features a conical lug nut seat, meaning you can use common acorn style lug nuts. American Racing debuted the Torq-Thrust D wheel in 1965, in response to the new and improved Corvette disc brake system that came out in the same year. The design featured curved spokes to provide adequate clearance of the large disc brake rotors and calilpers. While the curved spoke was out of necessity for clearance purposes, it also provided a unique look that looks great on hot rods, muscle cars and more.
