I have some photos of Atlas wheels with the yenko logo centercaps dated 1969, not sure if they were offered prior to that or not... come to think of it i don't know that i've seen an original "period" pic of a pre-69 Yenko car with Atlas mag wheels.

I know one 67 RS Camaro in original paint that sold new from Yenko with SW tach and Atlas mags. Still on the car to this day. I cannot tell you for sure if they were bought in 67 or 68 but the car for sure came from Yenko..BKH

Which is more like Yenko's original Atlas wheels, Torq Thrust D "Silver Edition", or Torq Thrust Original (TTO)?

The TTO copies the original straight "creased" or "peaked" spoke that American Racing made popular in the '60s. The D-spoke American is curved outward (to clear disc calipers) and rounded. I think the TTO is only offered in 15x7 and 15x8 currently but I've read that a 15x4 and a 15x10 are in the works.

Vintage Wheels makes the popular 16-inch "Vintage 45" in both creased and round spokes and they recently began offereing several 15-inch sizes.

ET makes a nice straight-spoke 15-incher as well.

Are you saying the TTO is more like the Atlas? Will it clear disc brakes?
