What wheels for our new Yenko
 

We have ran both TTs and Rallys on our '69, which both look cool..now trying to decide what would look best on our new Camaro.

That's a tough one. If the idea is to pair it up to the Sub then go rallys. But those TTs really look killer, I like those better. Hell, both!

Both..? you sound like my family, cannot make a decision. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif Of course I am torn between the two looks as well.

We have both for the sub, started out with TTs, but switched to Rallys to be legal for Pure Stock racing.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

The rallys dont look right on there. Go with the TT.

Yea, I just realized that was no help at all. If you have both already go with the TTs. They look the best.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

TT's look great, the rally's not so much...

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

I would love to see the rallys on the car but it would probably be too expensive to have a custom set of wheels made up. I guess the TT's would be the easier route and a wide variety of offsets to gets some big meats under the rear. Good luck and I will see you guys next weekend. Mark

Rob has a lead on someone who may produce Rallys for the '10 Camaro, that is where the idea came from.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

Agreed, Rallys don't look right, TTs look much better!

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

The TT's https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...arleySucks.gif

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

Definately the TT's

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

Rallys just look plain wrong but the TT's a great compromise w/ their old school 5-spoke style yet still enough of today's big wheel look to satisfy both young and older buyers..

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

The TTs have to be custom made for the SS Camaro application, in order to fit.

We had to order 50 "custom" sets in order to get it done. Very few companies have off the rack wheels which will fit the 2010 SS Camaro.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

With the hot looking rotors and calipers we have today TT's . The Rallys cover all that up .

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

TT hands down! The rallye's just don't fit the cars sleek body lines...IMHO

Ditto me on not using Rally wheels. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

I like the Rallys on it.
They're a subtle & refreshing wink to the past.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

Given the choice of only two, I think the ralleys are my preference. I've seen so many TT's or TT influenced wheel designs these days I have begun to be turned off.

I don't know enough about the challenges of making a custom wheel for the New Camaro, but the TTs as pictured look so much like the same old thing. Maybe a straight spoke, maybe not?

I've always felt you had to have a pretty bad a$$ car to pull of balck rims without looking like a poser. Part of me would love to see what regular old steel hoops could look loike on these cars. Chrome lug nuts or some other accent cap migh be kinda cool.

To come full circle, the ralley would help in giving the car a distinguished look, possibly unique to this special car. Don't worry abot this too much. I think a wheel change is probably the most popular car mod ever. People will buy what they like to look at and put the original wheels aside.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

I think alloy rallys with flat bowtie caps would look cool, always wanted a set after I seen them on the '67 chop and hack did on the '67 build they did awhile back.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

Neither...keep looking....

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

Maybe check out the wheels offered by Crager; maybe some old school Crager SS's would look nice. I agree that the TT look is becoming overdone (and I happen to be a big fan of those wheels).
The rallye's would definitely be nice to see on a new car for a change of pace though. Again, not much help in your decision making process; sorry. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

As Stephano said, not much out there that fits the '10 Camaros, which kind of surprised me. As times passes, I am sure that will change though.

From what I can find out, the problem lies in fact that the Camaro has a different bolt partern then most other GM cars, such as the Vette.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

Neither! As much as I love Torque Thrusts, the fact that they have come standard on new Ford Mustangs for the past several years just kills that choice. Do you really wanna be known as the guy that put "Mustang wheels" on your new Camaro? Not me! Large diameter Rallys aren't a bad choice, and if done right, might be the answer. Remember......wheels just ABSOLUTELY make or break a car. This is not a budget build, it is a high-dollar car that needs something special at all four corners, even if it has to custom-made and exclusive. That just makes the ride all that more special and afterall, that's what people are writing that huge check for....EXCLUSITIVITY! Maybe a modern reiteration of the classic COPO dog-dish look. Body-colored rims (alloys, but painted to look steel) with "poverty" caps. Think about Jay Leno's Olds Toronado with the modern large-diameter billet wheels that are dead ringers for the original hubcaps. That's neat, and he only did one set! Keep in mind, that these new Yenkos will be copied and the stripes added to many already purchased Camaros (clones of clones?). At least make the new Yenko wheels hard to obtain and exclusive. Good luck with your choice....the eyes of the world are watching and you get one shot at getting this right. Either a Hot Rod Magazine cover shot.....or just a small picture in Roddin' At Random!

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

That TT look is on everything. They look like factory mustang wheels. Back to drawing board. I agree with a dog dish style.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

Yes, my shop built that 1967 Chop and Hack as you have called it. Unfortunately I own the name "Rally" and have had it trademarked. Not to mention I own the patent on the Rally wheel built for the Chop and Hack. I purchased the name from Mr. and Mrs. Rally Wheel before they passed away several years ago. Just kidding.......If you would like more info on that wheel send me a private message.

I don't think the phrase "Chop and Hack" was referring to your shop or the car but, was a reference to the show; "Chop, Cut, Rebuild".

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

I did not take the name in a bad way....I actually thought it was funny!

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

The TT's look good. IMO. Like mentioned, not many available to pick from. So what are the other choices that are currently available ??

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

This is not going to be some budget built car. I would not even think of putting some washed up wheels on it. You should think about contacting somebody like Chip Foose and having them custom make the wheels for the car. This car should be exclusive and the wheels should be just as exclusive!

I agree with Mark and a few others. I think it'd look fantastic if you did some wheels the way Leno did for his Toro.

You could have the Yenko logo placed in the middle of the cap.

Would be incredibly distinctive on a modern car. Don't think I've seen anyone do anything like this, yet it's a nice throwback to the COPO look. (since Mustang killed the original TT look)

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

LOL...not much love for the Mustangs around here today... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

TT's. Rallies aren't flowing well with the lines of that car.

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

...What about a set of Grey Spoke with brushed silver trim like the Minilite....or Penske Trans Am Wheels? I would prefer them grey or dark grey ..opposed to a color like yellow like on the Penske Trans Am car....Hmmm? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: What wheels for our new Yenko
 

How about a modern rendition of MotorWheel Spyders? A very cool wheel that was offered in the original Yenko catalog.
