Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
I can pick up a restored set of Appliance torque thrust style wheels. Any opinions on these? Or am I better off waiting for the americans? I want to run 15x6 and 15 X 7

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
Here's a photo of the appliance wheels, a set will be close to $1000 with shipping across country, and with plastic american caps. Opinions?

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
bill somebody here has a killer set of kelsey hayes rims, dated 69 for sale for around the same price, I don't think they get any nicer than those and they are 15x6, you should give them a look first..

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
Bill...you need to make sure they clear the early calipers before you buy them...

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
The wheels are supposed to clear the calipers. My primary concern, other than making sure they will fit, is the quality of these wheels. Were they a cheap alternative from day 1?

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
In a sense they were...I think American was the original for that spoke design....are you sure they fit the early caliper ?

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
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

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
A little perspective on spoke shapes between a TT D and a straight TT...the D's were for early calipers...

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
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.
