Default 1964-1966 Corvette Knock-Off wheels...
I have a 1967, and I don't know anything about 1964-1966 knockoffs, but these are advertised as Kelsey-Hayes that are original.

I read that as saying they are repops made by Western on the original tooling from Kelsey Hayes...

... and that price is NOT for original KH KO's either...

You're probably right...but does Western even make repops on KH tooling?

Good question.

IMHO, the Torque Thrust D is the only choice...

I recently put a set of Corvette America direct bolt knock offs on my 66. They were a little over $2000 shipped.

Price has come down. My 67 bolt-ons were about $2500 + shipping.

I did up a set of these Western turbines to put on my 62 for a change of pace. They were the optional wheels for around 1978 Z28 Camaros. OEM.
But I want to put on the cone centers like the Vette wheels come with instead of the one's shown.
