A buddy of mine who is a wheel authority (he has a collection) says this is an American Torque Thrust..."Coke bottle design" probably circa late 60's early '70's.
Can't help you, Les.....but good to hear from you. Did you do the Abbey Show in Canyon City? How about the NSRA show coming up in Pueblothe 25th? Pretty sure I'll be there.
Aren't these 'Daisy Mags' ? American Racing 200 ?
Daisy Mag! For the life of me I couldn't recall, been on the tip of the tongue for weeks, had to ask.
I haven't been anywhere in four months, been replacing all my sewer pipes. Remove carpet, jack hammer floor...; just a never ending job. Finished it this week.
Rich, regarding the 25th: I will mark it on my calendar. My wife had knee surgery this week, so it will be a wait and see thing.
But anyhow, thanks DJ, I'll be able to sleep at night!
Doesn't sound like retirement has been all that much fun. That had to be a messy job, but Les, if you hadn't had Kelly do the jackhammering, maybe her knee would be fine! (just yanking your chain). She's gonna need some help for a while, so I understand about the shows. Connie was supposed to have a knee replacement, after being put off for Covid reasons for a year and a half, but her doctor wants her to wait until Sept. now so they can get another issue better under control.
American 200S would be the catalogue name, Daisy and Coke bottle slang names came later.
T :canada:
I remember them being pretty popular with the road racing crowd back in the day.
I had two sets, one on my Datsun 510 and the other on my Fiberfab Avenger GT. I loved those wheels.
Ya, what Kelly is going through is nothing compared to knee replacement as she had ACL repair.
