Does anyone make simple style wheels anymore???

I have been looking around at wheels and it seems that most everything out there is way too busy and bling bling. For my tastes anyway. Does anyone make a simple 5 or 6 spoke with an aluminum or satin finish?? Similar to the wheels that used to come on the SVT or Saleen. I wouldn't even mind finding something with faux rivets. Along the lines of SSR wheels.

Personally, i like the Torq Thrust St for our trucks. i bought a set, and i love the way they look on the truck. they have that old school style, but still classy.

I didn't check into the Torq-Thrust wheels before I bought mine. The backspacing and width are close to stock so you can probably run 34 or 35's without too many problem's, if your truck is leveled. I had some Torq-Thrust wheel's back in the 60's, so yeah I'm old school!

Cliff,
I love these tires. They do ride a little rougher due to the load rating. I beleive my wheels are close to stock width & backspacicing, so there is no rubbing and no trimming needed.
Cheers, JV

Those do look pretty cool. Remind me of the old Cragar SS's.

Just looked on the Crager website for s&g's and came across this. Looks pretty hot IMO.

And now I think I found a site I was looking for.

http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/

mgsalida: That is one of the first places I looked. Everything is a little too bling-bling for my taste. I'm not much into chrome. Pretty weird words coming for a guy who rides a Harley huh??

I would suggest looking at MB Motoring. Don't have their website handy but they have alot of non-chrome wheels for our trucks.
