Interesting thread! I am still building my 67 El Camino. From a visual standpoint I love the American Torq-Thrust D's, but I plan to investigate wheels before I buy any. I've looked at Jeg's and Summit's websites - while they give many specs on wheels, I don't see weight listed. Maybe I should look at American's website. My second choice would be Rally Wheels - they're about 1/3 the price of the Torq-Thrusts. If I had a decent set I would even use stock Chevy steel wheels.

Still running Cragar Super Tricks for the nostalgia look, car's too slow to worry about $2,000.00 in wheels!

I agree with Myron, Holeshot Performance Wheels all the way around on the Stocker. The SS car that has been sitting for 25 years still has the polished Super Tricks on it! I just redid the fronts with SS bolts, rears are next. Jim

I had Weld draglites, but have since purchased Holeshot Sun Star 3-piece. In a few weeks I will order the rears.

I always liked the old Monocogue (now Bogarts) but plan on contacting Holeshot when I get my next set.

Maybe I've been in the dark for a while (ok, a long time, maybe forever) but what's with the anti-Weld sentiment? Chinese mfg or what?

Is the very expensive Weld/American Torque Thrust Pro the lightest wheel available?

I`ve run everything from stock steel to Centerline Auto Drags to Monocoques,my V 6 stuff runs the same. I`ve also never seen an ET difference in lighter wheels either. A lot of new cool looking wheels out there too!

Motor Wheel Flys

3 1/2's front ,8" s rear. 10's would be better on back but just unable to locate.

I'm pretty sure the Gibson Engineering front 15"x3.5" wheels are the lightest available @ 6.2#'s each. I just bought aluminum 16 point front lug nuts also. Super light! Contact Alex @ MoneyMaker racing for a set.
