Well I'm going to be ordering a set of wheels from this company tomorrow, Vintage Wheel Works, and I will be buying the V40 17 x 7 wheel, custom back spacing. Here's a link, http://www.vintagewheelworks.com/products/wheels/v40. I want a wheel thats a little different, not the same old Tork Thrust II as everyone eles seems to have. Don't get me wrong, the TT2 are great looking wheels but I wanted that old look with a glass beaded center but in a more straighter spoke, like the originals Americans but in a modern 2 piece wheel. Also I don't want the wheel to take away the look from the car, I don't like a hole lotta bling. If you know what I mean. What do you guys think? JMO

I like those A LOT better than the TT2. Wish they did custom backspacing on the 15" wheels, as I am not a fan of big wheels and low profile tires.

They will look great on your car!

I got the V45's from these guys.
Dealing with VWW was a totally pleasurable expierience.
Great customer service. I ordered the wrong size lug nuts and they dropped me another set in the mail......no charge.
And to top it all off, the wheels are killer.

Im headed there in a couple hours to pick up my V48s...:yes:

I'd be right there with you on this one. These have the old school sharp edged spoke, instead of the newer rounded one. But, 15s are not where the money is.

I just got off the phone a few hours ago with Eli. Great person to deal with. He said I should be getting them by Friday even with the custom back spacing. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get them.

There's gotta be more of us that prefer 14" and 15" wheels. There is a great option for "old style" custom backspace 15s, but they are a bit out of my price range.

$310 for custom backspace 15x7s

I've been drooling over the e/t wheels site for a while. I was leaning toward the Altered style, but at 1600 for a full set with knockoffs, some of the Center Line wheels are sounding more realistic.

That's why I have Centerline Telstars on my car. IIRC, they were <$150 per wheel 5 years ago when I bought them.

Thinking of painting a set of steel wheels and grabbing some cheap whitewalls to change the look once in a while. Would be a good way to completely change the car depending on my mood.

Along the same lines, I could just say to heck with all these fancy wheels, and just get some chrome oe wheels with a custom backspace, and maybe some spider caps, and call it good.

Chrome OE wheels are way cool, and pretty cheap with custom backspace.

If I didn't already have the Telstars, I'd be looking at these for my shiney wheel fix. My car is white, so I'm thinking of cleaning up a set of steel OE wheels that I already own, shooting them gloss black, and running with Chrome lugs and cheap skinny whitewalls. Would instantly give the car a period correct mid-60s feel for very little cash. Can easily swap the Telstars back on when I get bored with it.
