I have yet to find a reproduced speed part that are exactly as the originals. Personally I would rather have a mint used piece vs. an incorrect new piece. Terry Vaughan has probably the largest selection of original AR wheels in the country. I've bought some stuff from him in the past and he doesn't sell junk. He has the 15x7's with straight spokes
His ebay seller name is vintage-whls He is out of Ellensburg Washington.

I talked to Terry today, he does not have a set of original American wheels for chevy at this time.

Dave I agree 100%. Nothing is like the genuine part...BKH

I agree also, the genuine thing is always the first option if you can find a nice set.

I just finished a set of Americans,old style straight spoke,and the total price is close to what a new set would cost.It does take some time to find a good set to start with,but the wait is worth the results.You will always know the reproduction wheels are just that.....

There are some nice old pictures on this web site that may be of interest. One shows a close up of an original American wheel. Also nice Corvette and Camaro period pictures.

What is the correct backset for these wheels?
