What wheels for our new Yenko

Yes, my shop built that 1967 Chop and Hack as you have called it. Unfortunately I own the name "Rally" and have had it trademarked. Not to mention I own the patent on the Rally wheel built for the Chop and Hack. I purchased the name from Mr. and Mrs. Rally Wheel before they passed away several years ago. Just kidding.......If you would like more info on that wheel send me a private message.

I don't think the phrase "Chop and Hack" was referring to your shop or the car but, was a reference to the show; "Chop, Cut, Rebuild".

I did not take the name in a bad way....I actually thought it was funny!

[CDNL-78]

The TT's look good. IMO. Like mentioned, not many available to pick from. So what are the other choices that are currently available ??

This is not going to be some budget built car. I would not even think of putting some washed up wheels on it. You should think about contacting somebody like Chip Foose and having them custom make the wheels for the car. This car should be exclusive and the wheels should be just as exclusive!

Neither! As much as I love Torque Thrusts, the fact that they have come standard on new Ford Mustangs for the past several years just kills that choice. Do you really wanna be known as the guy that put "Mustang wheels" on your new Camaro? Not me! Large diameter Rallys aren't a bad choice, and if done right, might be the answer. Remember......wheels just ABSOLUTELY make or break a car. This is not a budget build, it is a high-dollar car that needs something special at all four corners, even if it has to custom-made and exclusive. That just makes the ride all that more special and afterall, that's what people are writing that huge check for....EXCLUSITIVITY! Maybe a modern reiteration of the classic COPO dog-dish look. Body-colored rims (alloys, but painted to look steel) with "poverty" caps. Think about Jay Leno's Olds Toronado with the modern large-diameter billet wheels that are dead ringers for the original hubcaps. That's neat, and he only did one set! Keep in mind, that these new Yenkos will be copied and the stripes added to many already purchased Camaros (clones of clones?). At least make the new Yenko wheels hard to obtain and exclusive.

I agree with Mark and a few others. I think it'd look fantastic if you did some wheels the way Leno did for his Toro.

You could have the Yenko logo placed in the middle of the cap.

Would be incredibly distinctive on a modern car. Don't think I've seen anyone do anything like this, yet it's a nice throwback to the COPO look. (since Mustang killed the original TT look)

[Chevy454]

LOL...not much love for the Mustangs around here today...

[Andy]

TT's. Rallies aren't flowing well with the lines of that car.

[John]

...What about a set of Grey Spoke with brushed silver trim like the Minilite....or Penske Trans Am Wheels? I would prefer them grey or dark grey ..opposed to a color like yellow like on the Penske Trans Am car....Hmmm?

How about a modern rendition of MotorWheel Spyders? A very cool wheel that was offered in the original Yenko catalog.
