Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
Bill, I have a set of American Torq Thrusts (straight rounded spokes) that were purchased new in 1969, and they had plastic caps on them since day one. Even had their flat head, bare steel screws still holding them on. It's entirely possible that metal caps were available separately, but there's no shame in running the "new" plastic caps on your D spokes, they're as era correct as the wheels themselves. Both Yenko's Atlas mags, and International Dragmasters came new with metal caps, but American Racing has been using plastic caps on their Torq Thrusts since at least the late 60's.

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
That is great information about the caps. I would have never guessed that they came with plastic caps 35 years ago. Do you know if the spokes on the originals were natural aluminum or were they painted? Thanks for all the help on this.

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back S
Here's a listing of some other center cap options on the Vintage Wheel Works site (their center cap holes match the newer American pattern) They make a nice wheel in a couple of styles and many diameters (15-17").
