Wheel Vintiques

is there anyone who has purchased the wheel vintiques brand I'm looking at there SS1 15/8 wheel as I was doing a little research on them I found some complaints about having trouble with vibrations balancing the wheel being out of round just looking for some input on this brand before I make a purchase also they have SS1 wheels at Coker but they don't list the manufacture does anyone know it these are the wheel vintiques brand because they sell this brand at summit racing where you can get them shipped for free. Thanks any thoughts would be appreciated

Those wheels HAVE to be balanced on a lug centric adapter. The cone type adapter will NOT work. I have those on two of my cars with no issues.

Another option is to have a set of 14" wheels re-hooped to 15" wheels.


That way you get the original center "look" and the size you want.

Who's doing this? I got a quote from Specialty for 15x7 Chrome SSIII snap on cap rims for $349 each. That's just stupid

The SSI's are about $150 which is a lot more reasonable
