Default High Regard for Vintage Wheels US

About six months ago I had Vintage Wheels custom machine some 427-type wheels for my 289 FIA. I had looked at other manufacturers, and had been planning on the FIA type wheel. However, I liked the look of the 427-type wheel and had heard good things about Vintage Wheels.

I got the wheels within a few weeks, which took a little longer as I had them machine custom backspacing and such, and they were p-e-r-f-e-c-t. I haven't even gotten my Cobra out of the garage yet, and I still get compliments on the wheels.

I ordered along with the wheels the spinners and a lead hammer, but neglected to order the pliers and some wire. So, I called Bob up and within seconds he remembered me, and that I was building an ERA. When I told him I wanted to order the pliers and some wire, he told me he'd send them to me FOC as I'd been patient while I waited for my wheels to get machined.

Wow! I was impressed that he even remembered me and what I was working on, but he also threw in the pliers and enough wire for two installations.

Complaints get onto this forum, and rightly so. I thought I'd put this compliment to Vintage Wheels US on here. I've been greatly pleased by my experience and purchase with them.

If you're looking for wheels for your Cobra, here's where I'd send you:
