Identify this wheel?
At a cruise night Saturday, and spotted a wheel on a 62' Vette, that looks very similar to an old torque thrust wheel, but had a more pronounced offset and deep lip. Looked like it might work on a C5,but the emblem on the wheel was difficult to read. It looked like 4 letters inter twined. The letters were red with silver highlights. Possibly said Boyd, but I'm unsure. Owner said they were on the car when he bought it, so he didn't know what brand they were. Wish I could have taken a picture, but my cell really takes crummy pics. Any ideas?

See above! As previously stated, a picture was not possible, as it was fairly dark. Just thought someone might be able to point me in the right direction, based on the description of the logo, but It looks like that's unlikely. Thanks anyway!

Perhaps an e-mail to Karnack would help.
