They are pretty tough to find and getting very pricey Bill...The only ones that made them were American which had all the usual American info cast into the backside and also a no name Japanese wheel...

Bob, What isn't pricey when it comes to this stuff? The kids are breaking me with College tuition. So, I convince myself that I deserve to waste money on the cars.

Not original TT's, but any opinions on ET II's? Although I don't know if the ET II's are really a vintage wheel or a later reincarnation. I do know that ET's are an original wheel as we had them on a 68 camaro in 68, and they worked with disc brakes with a 15" wheel. Here's a pic of a set. Ok, no picture as the file is too big

I can pick up a restored set of Appliance torque thrust style wheels. Any opinions on these? Or am I better off waiting for the americans? I want to run 15x6 and 15 X 7

Here's a photo of the appliance wheels, a set will be close to $1000 with shipping across country, and with plastic american caps. Opinions?
