By the way, if anybody is thinking about buying some "D"s, check this out. Extreme Customs LLC Got mine for $147 ea plus shipping. Hard to beat.

OK, I won't take this any further. Fight it out amongst youselves and buy what you want. I was just trying to be helpful. The CL205s are the wheels on my 1967 Corvette. I just referenced an example that would fit a C3.

All.................."original" Torque Thrust D-spoke design wheels by American Racing ARE different than any wheel made since........including the current variety of "so-called" D-spoke wheels. If you had an original TT D wheel side by side with any of the current reproduction D's you would see the differences immediately. Some may consider the differences minor, but nontheless different.

Those are beautiful wheels! If they were 15x7, I would be all over them.

Thanks for the compliment. I bought them in 1968 to put on my first Corvette, a 64 coupe. Even thought it didn't have disc brakes, I just liked the unusual (at that time) look of the spokes. Started to sell them several times, but kinda glad I held on to them for all these years. Just decided to sell now becaus I have a set of the same wheels in real magnesium to put on my car. Don't need 2 sets of wheels that look alike.

Thanks,
Rex
