The fact that Vintage are pressure cast makes a safer stronger wheel because it's less porous. You can see the moulds are a higher quality from the smaller size of the flash and the nice finish of the wheel on the back as well as the front. Hub centric is very important to your safety for a non DOT approved wheel. The weight of the car is transferred to the hub centre instead of riding on drive pins only which are working in shear and torque at the same time on our set ups. If you can, look at some side by side, especially off the car so you can check the back.
