<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jer</div><div class="ubbcode-body">There are indeed TTs that do fit the 4 piston calipers,they're just not cheap or easy to find. If you note on the blue car above, the TTs spokes have an inward taper just before they meet the outer rim, not much but maybe 3/8" or so. These also fit the C2 vettes and that's why they're so hard to find. I've got a set on my '66 vette and have been offered $1500 for the set........ain't selling them!</div></div>
jer: the only ones that fit are the original TT D"s from the 60's which those are on that Z28. No current offerings from American to fit these cars except the modern looking two piece polished TT's. Those old wheels are not that hard to find, but they were only made in two widths: 6" and 7", plus they were only in 15" diameters. Appliance made the exact same wheel and they are easier to find with only subtle differences from what I was told by my old school wheel guy. I have learned a lot from him the past few years regarding tires and wheels. JT |
Re: cars with vintage american racing wheels
Right on all counts. 1960s TTDs are typically $1500-2000 for a good set.

Re: cars with vintage american racing wheels
I did try on a couple of different Torque Thrust II's (the newer polished versions) with different backspacing(s) if I recall correctly, quite a while back and neither would clear my calipers..
Not the spokes or the shape or curvature of them that were the issue - but the edge of enter hub itself. |

Just finished the safety check and loaded the Corvette into the trailer for the historic races next weekend in Monterey. Even though I like the look of other wheels on these cars, it's just not the same without them... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...66_vette_2.jpg
