Default Vintage Wheels

Has anyone gotten wheels from this company?

How is the quality of these wheels?

Thumbs up

I have two sets of the BRM style 17" wheels from them and
I can tell you the quality is first rate A-1. The owner is an
absolute gentleman to work with and will do what ever it takes to make a customer happy.
You can't go wrong with a combo like that.

BT Snake is right on.

Bob at Vintage Wheels is a super guy to do business with. He special ordered a set of wheels for me from American Racing and after they got delivered to him. He had the center front and back powder coated black, before re-shipping them to me. I would not think twice about getting any other products from Bob.

The wheels came out better than I expected...

Default Thanks

I am leaning this way. I just have some measurements to figure out in order to get propper size wheels. Bob said it was ok for the wheel with tire to stick out in the front. I just don't like those flush looking wheels.

They are 15". The wheels were special ordered from American Racing and then Bob had them coated. There was a charge for the powder coating, but worth every penny. Once I mount them with black lug nuts, you'd have to be pretty close to notice they are not real spinners.

Bob took care of the whole process. Only down side was the lead time on the special order because of the backspacing I need (3 months). That was all do to AR and not Bob. Once he got them, he turned the coating around in a couple of days and re-shipped them to me. Again... A great guy to do business with!

Give Bob a call...

Ed

Ditto on the others comments. Bob is a first rate guy and a pleasure to do business with.

I have to agree, I would do business with them again. Bob was great to deal with.

I've also got a set of wheels from Bob.

Quick turn around, great communication, and a great product.

Thanks Bob

I had a set shipped to Australia and the service and finished product was very, very good. I dont think you should have too many problems buying from Bob!

I bought them for my ERA #2119 and I love them. Thr nicest thing was one email to Bob, this is my car what do I need? He came back said this is what ERA recomends. I ordered them, they fit and look great. I was a little dissappointen in the dish size of the front but I understand, the FIS does not have the larger flares on the front as do the 427's.
Great service, good people.

I have these wheels on my car and I'm very happy with them.

Bob even sent me a replacement spinner for free after one of the spinners ears broke when I tried to get it loose with the lead hammer.

Great products and customer service, and very affordable prices!
