The primary difference between Image and Vintage is the Image wheels are a 3-piece wheel (2 spun half shells bolted to a cast center) versus Vintage which is either a one piece cast wheel or two-piece wheel consisting of a barrel and welded in center. The Image wheel centers are more authentic to the original designs as they were cast from an original wheel. The Vintage wheels take some design "liberty" and are not exactly like an original wheel (depending upon the style you seek to buy). Finally, Vintage is here in the US versus Image and having to ship wheels in from the UK. I think the TRIGO wheels are very nice and appear to be a one piece casting.
