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

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing
The closest looking wheel to the Yenko Wheels available today are the ones made by Team 3 www.etwheels.com , in my opinion.

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

Re: Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing
Stefano
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. Dave [Edited by whitetop (03-25-2002 at 06:21 PM).]

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.
