Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing
Hello Everyone,
What was the size/backspacing of the Torque Thrust wheels that came on some of the '69 Yenko Camaros?. How about the tire size? I have also seen cars with both "straight" and "curved" spokes - which are correct? If the original style is impossible to come by, what's the most popular/closest looking replacement from American Racing Wheels? Now that I am looking for one, I can't find a pic of an Orange Yenko with these wheels. I can find examples of every other color, but not Orange. Can anyone suggest a link to a pic? Thanks in advance, Keith '69 RS/SS 502

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing
Original Atlas wheels were 15X7 with a straight spoke. I had a set on a Yenko Chevelle I recently sold. I doubt if you will find a set though. The best thing to do is check all the swap meets and try and find a nice set of early American Racing wheels with the straight spoke. I am also looking for a set for my hugger orange Yenko Camaro! I think the tire size is E70X15 for camaros and the do repop these. I will try to e-mail you a picture of a Atlas wheel for reference.

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

Just looked at the wheels on that website, I think the wheels in the cast version may be close! I am looking into them myself! Thanks Stefano
