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?

Hello Everyone,

Well, it has been a full two years since I posted this originally, and I still have not purchased my wheels yet!

I was just wondering if there were any fresh opinions on new wheel manufactures, and the new American Racing TTO's.

Also, backspacing is still an open issue, what are you all running with the 15x7 TTD's or Vintage Wheel 5 Spokes?

Is anyone running the 15x8.5's with 255/60's? I run 15x8's with 4.5" backspacing with 255/60's on the back of my '69 SS and they fit perfect, but that combination does not seem to be offered in an off-the-shelf TTD style wheel.

One last request: Does anyone have a good photo of a black and white '69 with TTD's?

Thanks and Regards!
