Default Re: Where to buy Yenko style wheels?

Actually they are close to the original Torque Thrust D's except the back of the spoke is not curved like the originals. The orginal D's, I am talking 1967-69, were curved to clear the disc brakes on all of the GM cars, including the Corvette. The current ones will not clear the calipers on any GM 60's musclecars that have the 4-piston calipers.

I agree with Belair if you buy a new set paint the centers with Eastwoods "Alum-a-blast" paint for a more correct appearance like the originals. American did not paint the centers of any Torque Thrusts unlike the other knock off brands of that wheel: Rocket, Appliance, Mickey Thompson, International, ET, and others. I prefer the orginal Torque Thrusts with the pointed straight spokes over any of the D's..................RatPack.............
