I'm guessing that they are Torque Thrusts?

They are 10 years old. The current ones look a little different and are made in China.

'D's have the curved spoke, TTO that are currently available are a straight spoke, much like the original , but with a user friendly back spacing on the 15 x 8's.....

 I would be interested in buying these wheels if you are looking to sell them.

  Thanks, Brad

Yes I have the "D"'s on my 'Chief- 15x7.They are the only wheel that would clear the 4 piston brake calipers on all 4 corners.They were also designed in '65 specifically for the Corvette as they had the big calipers.To see them on a vehicle with that brake combination is really something.A butter knife wouldn't fit between the two.That's the tolerance they were machined to.Rather impressive I might say.........

I have 2 sets of the Super ET caps,,nabbed them off ebay a few years ago....

Sorry , the ET's I have will spend the rest of there lives on my 64 Custom Sport.  the bare ones on the floor , I polished and sold to my friend for his 65 GMC truck,, made the truck !

The wheels you have on your SD look in awesome shape! good combo with the vintage tire...
