Default Re: yenko chevelle wheels

You are exactly right on the "D" designation Brian.They were made to fit early 4 piston calipers.There were actually 3 different Torq-Thrusts available in 1969-70.Torq-Thrusts,Torq-Thrust"D",and Torq-Thrust R. The ones that Atlas looks like are the straight Torq Thrust wheels. The "R" wheel is very different in appearance from either of the other 2. They are a more modern thinner casting and have a different style cap and also have a flat "flange" cast onto the spokes.Very nice looking wheel.The straight Torq-Thrusts date from at least 1964 in magnesium.

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
