Vintage Wheels announcement
 
Its great to be back on Club Cobra ! we have some exciting news !
Vintage Wheels is pleased to announce that our one piece pin drive wheels are available again in both HA and BR styles in 15 inch and 17 inch versions . For the last several months availability has been very limited due to relocation and retooling of the manufacturing plant. Production is back in full swing and the retooling has resulted in an even better quality and finish.
During this time we have developed our two piece pin drive wheels in conjunction with American Racing.
These wheels are a fine addition to our range in sizes from 15 x 6 up to 18 x 11 and the multiple offset options with fit most replicas with narrowed or full width rear ends. Adapter thickness is allowed for in the offsets or you can choose the bolt on 5 lug version in the same widths and sizes.
Christmas specials will be announced on our web site in the next few days www.vintagewheelsus.com -watch this space!
On line shopping is just around the corner for both our wheel range ,adapter and spinner kits plus our ever expanding range of parts for your build .look out for a further announcement.
From all at Vintage Wheels we wish past and present customers and all forum members a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving Holiday !!!

Bob,
I'm looking at replacing the stock 17 inch pin drive wheels that came with my SPF with a set of polished/chromed 17 inchers.

Do you have a set that will bolt up to my SPF pins without any sort of adaptors? And if so, how much? I live in SD so I could pick them up.
Thanks,
Jim

Wow! great timing, as I am getting ready to order a set of pin drive 15s for a project I recently started.

Congradulations! Any major business restructuring in this economy makes for many sleepless nights. Great timing. I'm shopping for 17's for my current build. What is the availability and time delay for polished?

Anyone considering new wheels will not find a more customer oriented
business than Bob Lacy's Vintage wheels. He is a first class
guy who honestly wants you to get the best wheels for your car.
I cannot sayenough as to how well I was treated when I bought
my wheels. The time he took to make sure my wheels were ordered correctly
was amazing.
You just won't find this kind of service too often. Best of all Bob knows our hobby so he knows what it means to get it right for his
customers.

!5's from New Factory are Great!
 
I received one of the first sets of 15 inch pin drives for ERA #778. They look fantastic! The quality is extremely high and was really worth the wait! The strength of a pressure cast wheel should also be considered a plus.

Thanks Bob and keep up the good work!

Hi All
Thanks for your kind words and interest ,I will reply with pms to the individual enquiries
Bob

I will second what Hersh said and add that Bob Lacey is someone that does what he say's he will do. Bob is not only a good person to do business with he is also like a good friend that will be there if you need him. I have bought two sets from him over the last few years and I couldn't be happier with the quality and the delivery time.

SPF's can use Vintage Wheels directly, no different adapters. Just call Bob Lacey for details.

Ditto what Hersh and Larry said.

Vintage wheels is one of the best vendors out there in all phases of business.

What exactly is the thread size of the spinners: 2 21/64" x 8 TPI?

Dominik 11-23-2010 10:54 PM

barrel nuts
 
Can you get the set with the CNC made pin drive nuts from Kirkham?

Yes, or delete pins from Vintage and order CNC pins from David Kirkham.
That is what I did at least.

You might be right on the size.
I can call Bob Lacy tomorrow if you like.
The Vintage spinners interchange with Trigo, SPF and Kirkham spinners.

Here is a gold Trigo spinner and a silver Vintage spinner.
Either one goes on either adapter.
