You Need This: Datsun 240Z Wearing Torq Thrust D Wheels

Aug 23, 2017 | Datsun

This 1971 Datsun 240Z vintage racer is billed as ready to race. Power comes from a triple-carbed, 2.8-liter engine backed by a five-speed transmission. Then there’s the five-lug conversion and those iconic American Racing wheels.

Torq-thrusts are the Kosei K1s of the '60s and '70s - there is no car they look bad on, and they make even ugly cars look better.

In reply to Duke:

You speak truth about K1's. Also RFP1's.

There was a set of those style Torq Thrusts for sale on our local Graigslsit 2 or 3 weeks ago. For $150 I almost went to buy them even though they fit nothing I currently own. Iconic wheel.
I did have visions of them on my TE27 Corolla for a short while.
