Trigo vs Vintage

[Bob In Ct]

I have Trigos. One of them leaks right through the metal. That's right, right through the metal, you can watch the bubbles form. I have to air that guy up every day. What a pain.

I may yet spring for a set of Vintage.

Just another for Vintage. I got my set when they first came on the market.
Customer service second to none. And if it weren't for Vintage, we'd still be paying $2800 for Trigo's..

I bought Vintage, Bob was very helpful in selecting the backspacing made sure I had what I needed followed through to the end. ( Great Service)

I own 8 Trigos. I bought the first 4 in 1994 for $1,900.00. One of those leaked a pound of air a day. I found a pinhole in the middle of the rim after submerging the tire/wheel in water. I dismounted the tire and covered the hole with a dab of epoxy. It hasn't leaked since. I now use use these wheels on the track because they do show the years of use.

I bought the next 4 wheels about 2 years ago for just $995.00, new, during a sale period. These were fresh castings. When they arrived, each had visible voids in the area of the knock-off.

I probably won't need any more wheels. If I do, they'll be Vintage units.

Trigos have "Cobra2" and a part number cast on one of the spokes on the face of the wheel. The Vintage wheels do not. Not that that necessarily matters, but it is one way in which they visibly differ.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE ACCURATE REPLICAS OF 427 S/C WHEELS IN MAGNESIUM!!
