Heres mine. Love these wheels. Had a set on my bus I sold for a couple years, so had to get the chromies for my 58 rag. I had to go with a 6" beam do to my disc brakes. Spacers for up front.

They were not my choice. It came with them. But you wanted to see.

Got a chimpi set for the 60. I didn't like the center caps so I'm making custom ones.

In this picture you can see how the center cap is slightly smaller than the, "hub" where it seats.

New caps are shorter, match the diameter of the hub and have the same angle.

The hardest thing to do now is to figure out what to engrave on them.

Just can't get enough of this style rim. Maybe because I am pretty much the only one in the PNW running them. Dare to be different!!

Here on my 1960 DC,but now on my Oval. The DC deserved some 17's!!!!!

Torkers in 17's would be on here, if they made them!!!!

1957 2 tone with my favorite style wheel!!

Built and sold this 66. Had to put on the Torkers!!!

On my 1958 rag I sold. Posted in 2012 on this forum!!!

On which ride? Both bugs had basically same set up. 6" narrowed, disc all around, 195x60x15 in rear, 135x15 up front.

Do the 5” Torkers fit under a type 3 without narrowing? On all the searching I’ve done I’ve only seen the one notch in this thread on these wheels.
