Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing
 

I would like to thank everyone who sent in the pics.

Looks like I have everything I need, but the backspacing is still an open question.

Thanks again everyone,

Keith

The closest looking wheel to the Yenko Wheels available today are the ones made by Team 3 www.etwheels.com , in my opinion.

The new torq-thrust rims completely different than the Atlas. The torq-thrust has a curved spoke, the Atlas has a straight spoke. The center caps on the Atlas were aluminum the new ones are plastic, also the spokes on the tor-thrust are much beafier and the casting itself is much smoother and without any flash extentions, The Atlas, as a whole, was of poorer quality.

I got a reply from Vintage Wheel, they said the 15/7 old stle American Racing wheel will be available in 3 to 4 months.

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing
 

Thats the claim! Time will tell.

I have yet to find a reproduced speed part that are exactly as the originals. Personally I would rather have a mint used piece vs. an incorrect new piece. Terry Vaughan has probably the largest selection of original AR wheels in the country. I've bought some stuff from him in the past and he doesn't sell junk. He has the 15x7's with straight spokes
His ebay seller name is vintage-whls He is out of Ellensburg Washington.

I talked to Terry today, he does not have a set of original American wheels for chevy at this time.

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing
 

Dave I agree 100%. Nothing is like the genuine part...BKH

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing
 

I agree also, the genuine thing is always the first option if you can find a nice set.
