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:

Good recommendation. I like reading things like this as much as the trouble ones.

All too often we hear nothing but complaints about this or that, but seldom do we hear 'thanks' for good service or parts/components. It's good to hear these great stories.

DD,
Excellent service and product from Vintage and thanks for posting.
When possible, please post pics of the 427 wheel on your FIA. Sounds like a great combo. In my gallery you can see the opposite. Some shots of my 427 car with FIA wheels! (PS's)
Also, how's your boy doing? Well I hope.

It's neat to see people appreciate a good businessman
and a super product. Bob is first class. I have two sets
of his wheels and without a doubt they are top notch.
I will only buy my wheels from Bob. I just luv doing
business with people who put a high regard on customer
service.

I totally agree. I just bought a set from Bob and he was great to deal with. He handled some special requests I had very quickly and thoroughly. Too bad that nowadays it is a surprise when you do find someone with good customer service and value.

In my gallery you can see the Vintage 427 wheels on my ERA 289 FIA. Mine are barely broken in with 1900 miles on them, but I think they look great. Rick from Miami, Fl.
