Key Features & Specifications

Description & Benefits

The Torq Thrust II 17×8 Polished is a timeless wheel design trusted by car enthusiasts and restorers alike. Its polished finish delivers a gleaming, eye-catching look that pairs beautifully with a variety of paint colors and trim packages. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car or upgrading a modern cruiser, this wheel brings a vintage aesthetic without compromising performance.

Because it’s built from durable cast aluminum, it maintains structural integrity while being lighter than many steel alternatives—helping reduce unsprung weight and improve handling. The 5×120.65 bolt pattern is commonly used on various GM, import, and custom applications, making it versatile for many builds. The –11 mm offset offers a “flush” stance on many vehicles, giving that aggressive look without excessive poke.

Fitment & Use Cases

• Popular among classic muscle cars, restomods, and custom builds
• Suitable for vehicles originally using the 5 × 120.65 bolt pattern
• Works well with wide tires (e.g., 215/60R17, 225/50R17) when properly cleared
• Should be paired with correct lug nuts, hub centric rings (if needed), and correct torque specs

Crafted for enthusiasts who demand durability without sacrificing style, the VN5157863 is available in sizes from 14" to 22" and pairs perfectly with chrome alternatives for mixed-set flair. Whether restoring a '70s muscle machine or upgrading a daily driver, this wheel turns heads and corners with equal authority—pure American Racing legacy, reimagined.
