Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing

[BillD]

There is a great wheel link https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...amp;PHPSESSID=

that was just put up, that describes a history of American wheels and also mentions the Appliance brand wheels that I am considering. I almost think I am better off waiting for the real thing, or going with the reproduction TTO that imitates the original wheel, or just stick with the TTD's that I occasionally run for a different look

A little perspective on spoke shapes between a TT D and a straight TT...the D's were for early calipers...

[BillD]

As is usually the case, now that I see what the original wheels look like, my reproduction TT wheels (which I had thought looked pretty good) now look like.......well a reproduction. Bob, thanks for the pictures as it really points out the difference between the D's and straight spoke wheels.

Bob, Here is a pic of the back of the Japan wheels, which look like they will work? I have a pic of the front if you are interested.

Another try,

Bob, here is the front of the wheel, thanks

That is a great looking wheel and you usually can tell the ones from Japan as they had very dep countersinking in the lug hole area....now I am not POSITIVE those will fit the early caliper Bill....the backs of the spokes are cut it looks like but I just don't know for sure...the D was made specifically to work with the early calipers.Have you tried them on the car ???
