| Has anyone used the "wheel vintiques" vintage Motor Wheel appearing wire wheels?
They are available from Jegs for $314.99 each, quite a bit less than the True Spoke brand.
Any opinions or experiences to share?

Location: central Illinois | I purchased a set of 4 Magnum 500 wheels from Wheels Vintique and 13 months later they had 2 rust pits... which they would not warranty because it was 28 days past date of purchase 1 year warranty. Since that time (six and a half years) two others have rust pits.
I will NEVER order any of their products again and feel a responsibility to let others know of their inferior products. |

| I was looking at a set for a '54 New Yorker a few years back. The hub didn't have the stamped recesses to clear the brake drum rivets. I was told that you only needed to grind the rivets off. That was enough to scare me off. Don't know if that is still the situation or not. |

Location: D-70199 Heslach | the cheap rims may look the same, but the original is the true spoke.
So no need to buy repros in case originals are available
