They must be a vendor for wheel vintiques, because they are definitely wheel vintiques wheels.

Those wheels look great. I didn't know about summitracing.com. I just went there...Yes they have better pricing. Too late for me.

Barry-

They look good....(Hopefully) you will have no problems with them..

Should NOT getting a smooth ride occur, put a 'dial indicator' on the rim lips to check run-out.. American Racing considers their 'smoothies' not more the .035 an acceptable rim.. (I know these are not AM rims, but same deal)..

I bought a set, long ago after having the re-balanced about 3 times, I finally put my dial indicator on..3 of the 4 had +.038 - + .044 run-out..

On a heavy ride this would probably never get noticed. But a lighter vehicle it makes a BIG difference. I was able to send them back as American Racing has lifetime guarantees on their rims.

my .02

I like the looks of them on that panel! Has anyone ever seen whitewalls on a SOM? I just wondered how it would look, and I can't imagine that. I don't ever remember seeing one before.

I have bought three sets of the WHEEL VINTIQUES brand and so far had no problems, just wish they came in a 15x7 or 16x7.
