Can you buy new Tor Thrust Ds that will fit a '68 Charger?

According to the American Racing website, the Torq Thrust Ds don't have the right bolt pattern.

Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Thanks, I missed that.  However, it looks like they don't have very many options.  I was looking for a 15x7 or 15x8 with correct backspacing, which I believe to be 4.25 to 4.5 inches.  They don't have anything like that for a Mopar bolt pattern, as far as I can tell, and they don't do custom orders for the D.

Try eBay I got 4 15x8 delivered with nuts and center caps for 400.00.

How about this?

Yeah, I didn't see that because I was only looking at the Satin Black with machined lip.  Apparently not all sizes are available in all colors.  I've been corresponding with American Racing customer service to see what options I have.

After all that, it turns out they have a Satin Black Torq Thrust D in 15x8, 5x4.5 bolt pattern, 4.5 backspacing-- part number VN10558065B-- it's just not listed on the website!!!

4.5 backspacing will work front and rear, correct?
