Does anyone have any experiece with the wheel vintiques supreme wheel? I have heard the quality of the US wheel version is not very good so I was trying to decide between the wheel vintiques and allied brand. -Nick
i got my US Wheel supremes at summit racing in tallmadge, of course i opened the boxes and inspected them thoroughly before i walked outta the store. They looked great. i understand some people dont have that convienience.
I bought a set for my Riviera , I have had no problems. I dont think there as nice as astros, but the price is what sold me.
Not sure which manufactureer but only buy the ones with a gusset plate on the back of the spokes near the rim.
Wheels Vintiques? They sent me some wheels that were not the size I ordered. Though they were not plated , or painted; they wouldn't take them back. I had to sell the wheels myself, and re-order because I needed the wheels fast. The ones I got had so much runout, as to be nearly unusable. I ended up selling those; and buying Daytons. If you MUST have Wheels Vintiques, go to a dealer to buy them; so that he can eat the **** that wheel maker can turn out!
I've had problems with them myself on several occasions. I got 2 sets in a row that the offset was off and inch, then another that 3 of 5 wasn't true. I pitched a ***** until they took them back and made it right. I dont' buy them anymore. This old dog learned a new trick.....find other sources of wheels.
Check out the Cragar Unique Supreme. Looks the same & is a nice wheel. I've had 2 sets from Newstalgia Wheel co. & both were perfect.Price is good as well.
That's what I was wondering if, if the wheel vintiques had the welded gusset plate. I don't want a set that doesn't have a gusset. -Nick
