Problem w/Wheel Vintique

They are great looking wheels if you own a Chevelle, but the spoke design is wrong for a Buick.

I guess I am just too picky, but it is the same complaint I have with the Buick diecast model cars. They use the Magnum 500 wheel design on the Buick models. I suppose it's because they either think no one will notice the difference, or they just don't care about the Buick fans because there are too few of them.

By the way, an accurate Buick design aluminum wheel is available from Circle Racing:

I’ve never seen a price on those billet wheels. Does anyone know what they cost, ballpark?

 

I can't speak as to the quality of their Rally wheels, but I'm not happy with my Billet Specialties. I purchased them to replace my out of round Centerlines that luckily, Summit warrantied after they went out of business . I watched a video by Billet Specialties on Summit's website. They showed a solid chunk of aluminum being machined into a wheel. I guess it was an old video because mine are clearly two piece and leaked at lees than three years and BS said too bad, warranty is only two years.

 

I am sure Summitt isn't selling knock off BS wheels but I have heard that someone is making them. Has anyone else heard this?

 

It looks like they were sold by Summit at one time and priced around what you said.

Apparently, Circle Racing Wheels was run by the same guy who founded Wheel Vintiques. It looks like he may have kept Circle Racing Wheels as a separate company and it wasn’t sold to Coker when Wheel Vintiques was but then he sold Circle Racing Wheels in 2020 to an NHRA guy.

The most recent price I have seen was $613.

I spoke with Circle Racing a couple of years ago and, at that time, the wheels could be purchased directly from them. However, that may have been prior to the sell of the company.

 

The American Racing wheels I posted above are aluminum and available in 15".

 

I have made custom wheel center versions for customers that bought "look alike" Buick A-body wheels.
