I can say that I'm very happy with my Vintage wheels. Can also attest to great customer service!

I've seen Vintage next to Trigo, and they are pretty much exact to each other.

I know Vintage is way cheaper and they have great support, but that doesn't make it a better physical wheel.

If you know something, please share.

Here are claims from their web sites. I researched both when Vintage Wheels debuted. #5 had been the biggest complaint I heard from Trigo owners where some "custom grinding" was needed to get the wheel on the pins.

VINTAGE
1. Great prices today on wheel kits; your Vintage Wheels "rolling stock kit" now includes lead hammer, wiring pliers, pin tool and wire at no extra charge.

2. Manufactured to TUV, DOT and EU standards, and with ISO 9001–2000 certification.

3. Vintage Wheels wheels are pressure-cast in precision steel dies to ensure you of superior finish and durability.

4. Race proven. Hundreds of these wheels hit the track every weekend!

5. Adapters are sized to fit your hub-centering and not "one-size-fits-all"—assures you of correct hub centricity.

6. Your Vintage Wheels wheel kit now comes standard with our unique anti–theft safety adapters.

7. Free shipping on wheel kits within California plus reduced rates throughout the lower 48 states.

8. Export specialists—we ship worldwide; for example from only $220 for a 15" wheel kit to the UK.

9. Most custom and European bolt patterns (PCD) available.

10. You can choose from among several options, including custom colour, full polishing and chroming.

TRIGO

TRIGO has been making quality wheels for Cobras for over twenty years. All our wheels are made from permanent molds for consistent quality. Our wheels are race proven and guaranteed.

When I was looking to buy wheels I started with Trigo. It was during the sale period from Mr Park so that may have effected things. Trigo was hard to get answers out of and Vintage made it easy as I needed the larger offset/backspacing. Side by side they are the same from what I have seen. Bob takes customer service very serious and make the purchase a pleasure.

I am very happy with my Vintage Wheels


Unless I needed 15" FIA wheels I would go back to Vintage without any hesitation. However, I do think Trigos were made in the USA versus South Africa?
