Yenko Wheels

[tom406]

I was doing some research on Atlas wheels and besides old Yenko.net discussions, this popped up:

Guy posting is from Canonsburg, PA and includes a picture of his Buick in the above thread
He says:
"OK I know this. Altas Foundry was in Atlasburg, PA, about 20 miles from Canonsburg, PA & Yenko Chevrolet. Atlas sold these wheels thru gas stations and garages in this area starting around May 1967. I know this because my Dad had a Sunoco station about a mile from Yenko Chevrolet, & my Dad sold Atlas wheels. The picture is of my 1967 Buick GS 400 with Atlas wheels, picture was taken in June of 1967. The wheels on my GS were dark almost black spokes with a brush finish on the rims, the center caps were a cast white metal chromed with an A on them."

Were the Atlas mags used on 69 Yenko Camaro size 15x6 or 7?

Thanks,

They clear 4 piston calipers. I put radials on them for when I want to drive a car. Remove the rallys/bias set up.
