Sounds like the same set I bought about 5 years ago. Just check to make sure who the manufacturer is. Vintage Wheels and Speciality are some of the best. I was very happy with my set. I loved them so much I couldn't bring myself to put on the trim rings and scratch the paint!

If they are Wheel Vintinques ... true 15x7 trim rings won`t fit!! I sent two wheels back a couple of months ago {Summit}. 1/4" in too narrow on the front spacing.,et B/s was the correct 4.25".

I don't have originals so I would be using what comes with the wheels.Are you saying the wheel vinteques are 4 1/2 back space and the originals are 4 1/4 back space?

No the backspacing is OEM 4.25" which is correct but the outside dimensions of these new hoops are 0.25" narrower over-all. Therefore the trim ring is ~.025 too deep to seat. I don`t know why WV is not having complaints from other .. maybe they are but they haven`t made any changes or stated this to buyers on the box.I bought some from WV a couple of years ago and they WERE correct front and back ..newer version are NOT.

The wheels are made by wheel vinteques.There is a choice of center caps he offers. One style is metal and the other is ABS plastic. Anybody have any opinions on which one to get? Naturally the metal ones raise the price by $70.00 but if they are better it would be worth it.Thanks, Charlie.
