Re: Speedway Vintage Wheels
I have, they were in Wheelsmith boxes who are in Corona, CA. The only problem I have with them is the chroming in the center which looks like spray on silver paint, vey poor finish.... not a problem if running the matching Wheelsmith / Speedway hubcaps...stock caps do not fit

Re: Speedway Vintage Wheels
Wait......what?
Wheel Smith wheels won’t take stock hubcaps? I knew Wheel Vintiques would not, but not Wheel Smith. Bummer! |

Re: Speedway Vintage Wheels
A few months ago I ordered from WheelSmith, and requested inside nibs for stock 8-1/4" '40 hub caps. No problem.
And the chrome is to perfection! |

Re: Speedway Vintage Wheels
As quoted on the Speedway site regarding Vintage wheels and hubaps "A variety of options are available for center caps. Must use our Vintage Series caps or adapters - original caps will not fit these wheels without adaptation." I don't know what deal Speedway has with Wheelsmith but the wheels I received were in Wheelsmith boxes ?

Re: Speedway Vintage Wheels
Why don't you deal direct with Wheel Smith and cut out Speedway?

Sounds like Speedway just wants to sell hubcaps in addition to the wheels?

Re: Speedway Vintage Wheels
WheelSmith "Gennie" wheels. Only pic I have is after centers were painted body color. (hub caps will be '40 Standard cap with the blue V8 logo, which is real close to body color)

Re: Speedway Vintage Wheels
I to have some Drake hubcaps on 16 inch Wheel Vintique wheels that I got before they sold out to Coker. Caps fit fine.

Re: Speedway Vintage Wheels
I've used both Wheelsmith and Wheel Vintique's wheels and have not had a problem with hub caps not fitting. The wheels that were a problem were made by US Wheel Co. There was no way stock caps would fit them. Got them from Summit and sent them back. If the other companies are now buying wheel centers from the same place as US Wheel then there can be a problem.
