    Hello,
    When we were finally able to afford a full, complete set of genuine, American Racing Co. mag wheels, my wife wanted them on her car. For her, it was "the" look for any vehicle, let alone her own. What more could a car guy say to that? She loved that car... Plus, it was the first car that she owned that had real A/C.

    OK?

  2. Nope you are absolutely correct. The earlier wheels have a sharper crown on the spoke and the d spokes are uh D shaped.

    OK back to your regularly scheduled programming. :D

    If anyone looks back at my earlier posts on this thread these are the 1st design "D" that Mike Guffey showed on his old AFX stang. Defiantly a different wheel from the vette disc type that came out in '65 , that could have been had in alum(street) and also made in magnesium (trans am)

    I've always heard the Corvette version referred to as a "crows foot".
