Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing

[Supercar_Kid]

While an attractive wheel in their own right, the PS Engineering wheels are hardly a match for the Atlas wheels used by Yenko or even early Americans for that matter. The spokes are curved away from the calipers and then inward towards the rim, like a "D" and hence the term D spokes. Atlas mags and early "straight spoke" Americans are not like this. Their spokes are straight from hub to rim, and while American wheels came in many variations including peaked and rounded spokes, the Yenko Atlas mags have a very distinct peaked spoke. Also, it's hard to tell from the pics but the PS Engineering wheels appear to be of a 2 piece design, like a modern Torq Thrust 2. While a 2 piece wheel allows for unlimited configurations of front and backspacing, it doesn't provide that authentic vintage look. There's just no faking an old wheel IMO. Keep hunting, vintage 15"s are a little tougher to find but if you're patient a set will turn up.
