I know this is a tall order but what kit or resin parts maker would have the closest to this wheel from 15/7 American Racing Torque Thrust circa 1971 thanks Gerry

The suggestions have Torq Thrusts but they are the "D" style spoke. The picture reflects a peaked spoke. May be made by another manufacture like Radir?

I'll second the AMT 62 Chevys. They have the proper peaked spoke. The Yenko Camaro' s wheels are funky, the spokes are too skinny. *edit* The Yenko' s wheels are what you need. They looked funky because I've been comparing them to original Torq Thrusts and they're not, they're T70's, I see the difference now. I don't think they're right for a Yenko, though. The AMT 62 Chevy and Revell 32 Ford are great for original or D-spoke Torq Thrusts.

Here are the wheels from the Yenko. Note they have the T70's center cap, not the 5-ear design from the Torq Thrust.

Scenes Unlimited has some resin Torque Thrusts

Revell´s ´69 Yenko Camaro and http://www.scenesunltd.com/WHEELS.html

I have Daisy Mag wheels from this caster and the quality is very good. Search for dioman54 on evilbay. That´s him.

I've got some of his Mopar steelies, very nice. And he has two different variations of Torque Thrusts.

Those wheels were also offered by Atlas. I have a friend with a correct 1:1 69 Yenko that has those wheels and they are Atlas. They look the same and the Revell 69 Yenko wheels are close enough.

These are the 1:1 15/7 and 15/8.5 it seems to me old school models used 14" as the basis for the mags they used spoke always appear shortert70s_zps8eff7f41.jpg
