Lippy - if I were buying my wheels today I think I would go with the FIA wheels. Only problem is that I don't think Vintage makes the FIA style so you will probably have to go with Trigo. I was very satisfied with Bob at Vintage and they have a great product. But, I think the FIA wheels on the 427 car look great and they are something a little out of the ordinary.
