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?

The TTO looks more like an Atlas, which was a copy (ripoff) of the original Torq Thrust. The new TTO's will probably fit on a disc car but check with American Racing to be sure. They probably have a tech line (e-mail) on their website.
