Default Re: What constitutes a clone?

The "new" wheels on the orange Yenko are vintage 1960s American Torque Thrusts with the 'peaked' straight spokes. The currently-available Torque Thrust D wheels have a curved spoke as seen in the first three photos of the car. The D wheels are for use with disc brakes but I suppose the older '60s wheels fit disc cars too. I had a set of the old Americans restored (14x6) and ran them on my '67 RS/SS 396 and they looked great. Every serious car guy should have a set of Torque Thrusts in his garage. Cragar S/S's too.
