Unrelated to the question, but I read where Coker has bought Wheel Vintiques. The article said he will continue to operate the business under it's present name in addition to his present wheel line.

I have dual pattern Wheel Vintiques wheels on my car for 17 years, no problems.

Are they by any chance 5 1/2 and 4 3/4 bolt circle combonation?That would be outstanding news.

I have vintiques dual pattern for 10 years.Mine are tubeless and they are spoke type.Had some trouble with leaks at the rim spoke area sealing.Found the cause was porosity in the sealer to seal the spokes at the rim.I found the porosity with soap bubbles.Using a course
burr i opened up the area and replaced it with GE bathtub sealer.No additional leaks after 30,000 miles Lee34

we bought a set of 16 X 6 wire wheels with 4 1/2 & 4 3/4 bolt patterns. We had them powdered coated, they came out beautiful for over $450 apiece. We had to use tubes. They are also very heavy.

Yes they are. But do yourself a favor and google Wheel Vintiques. Also, any aftermarket wheel needs to be spun and checked for true before you paint and mount tires. Save yourself some pain.

You can also try Wheelsmith in the L.A. area or Rally America in Fresno, Ca. Not sure you can get the dual pattern with 4 3/4and 5 1/2.
