I didn't think the "D"s were introduced until late 1968?

You definitely need "D"s on a Disc Brake Vette.

There should be a date on the inside of the Rim?

I have another picture that shows clearly the concave area where the spokes meet the rim - is that what you mean by "curved" vs "straight"?

Did some research into "D" wheels Tony has a nice set of wheels and a good price for originals. "quote"
The original Torq-Thrust "D" was released around 1965, and was configured to provide disc brake caliper clearance on then-current Corvettes. The hub of the wheel was moved outward a half-inch, and the spokes curved inward at the ends.

The original aluminum Torq-Thrust "D" was only produced in 15 by 6 and 15 by 7.

I will post link in lounge for reading pleasure will probably sum up alot of questions on vintage wheels. Good luck with the sale Tony
