What were the "mag wheels" that came if ordered on the Yenko Camaros? I've heard Atlas but were American torq thrust D's used?
If so, were they 15X6 or 7? Thanks

If everyone is asking about the set of 15X6 Americans on ebay right now. The answer is no. Americans were not used. The spoke design is incorrect...BKH

The Americans on E-Bay right now are "D" spokes. The Atlas wheel used by Yenko was a knock-off of the American straight spoke Torq Thrust.Americans were probably more expensive too.The American Racing Torq-Thrust was introduced in the early 60's.The spoke design of the Atlas wheel is VERY similar to this wheel."D" spokes are not at all similar.

American called the more straight spoke wheel Torque-Thrust-R. The D I am told was a designation for Disc Brake...BKH
