Default Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S

Every Appliance ad I have ever seen they mention their wheels will work with calipers. Matter of fact their ads had a byline that read something like "our wheels will always work with caliper equiped cars always have always will" or something to that effect.

Appliance was a very quality built wheel and used a good grade of aluminum (they polish out just like chrome). The machining was second to none. And yes the Japan cast in the back is one way of identifying an Appliance wheel.

I don't know why Appliance never really took off-bad distributorship? Some claim the deep inset lug nut was another reason in that it turned people off. I've also heard they had an ugly cap design which also contributed.
