    Aluminum 15X7 American Torque Thrusts FS

    I bought these wheels thinking I might use them, but changed my mind and am keeping my magnesium instead. Thought I would post them here before marketing them to the VW guys on Ebay and Samba.

    Quan 4 15x7 aluminum Americans. Near perfect shape needing only a light polish on the lips. As delivered, the holes have never been drilled for the center caps. No curb rash or bends. FOB Ohio 45459
    $1200.00

    They are approx 17 lbs each, so not light by any means.
    I am looking for another set of magnesium Americans if anyone has a set.
    Doginu, I may be interested in trades.....but I cant think of anything specifically.
    Original 70 dash pad comes to mind. Scheel fiberglass racing seat in good shape with headrest........VW racing and performance parts.......hard to say.
    Thanks

    Dave, do they take any special spacers or bolt right on? Seems like Curt posted something recently about bolts, is it hard to find the necessary hardware?

    The lugnuts are unobtainium, although Dave may have boxes of these hoarded in the garage ..... anyway, it is possible to buy brand new lugnuts and turn the shank diameter down a bit on the lathe to make them fit.

    Exactly what Curt said. I do have lugs, but saving them for that special project ;-)
    As an alternative, you could have them opened up for a larger lug hole.

    guys...
    not to be contradictory, but i had a set of American Racing "mags" that i sold & the buyer was likewise concerned. my FLAPS had a retail offering under the brand name "Mr. Lugnut" that fit the ticket. they have a web presence and '800' number. YMMV.
