The new American TTO's are somewhat more appropriate looking than the current modern Torq Thrust wheel, but they're still a far cry from a vintage wheel in my opinion. The "Torq-Thrust Original" aka TTO does have straight spokes and an as cast center, however they also have the larger hub and center cap to fit later model vehicles, as well as the taper seat lug recesses as opposed to the shank and washer style of the 60's. On a vintage car they certainly look better than modern dull gray curved spokes, but they aren't going to fool anyone who knows their vintage stuff. I guess that can be said for any modern reproduction part though. Personally, I'd try my best to find a set of nice straight peaked spoke Americans or a comparable copy and have them professionally restored. They're hard to find, and more expensive in the long run than a modern wheel for sure, but they aren't impossible to obtain. There's just no beating vintage wheel on a vintage car. Happy hunting.
