I just wanted to warn all of you about Stockton Wheel.  My experience with them has been horendous.  I ordered 2 71 Rallye Wheel center caps from them for wheels I already had from Specialty Wheel.  A simple thing, right?  I even called them first to make sure their center caps did not have big gold glitter flakes in them like the ones I got 3 !!! times from Wheel Vintiques (stay away from them also).  They said no of course not.

Well, Stockton Wheel sent me 2 Wheel Vintiques center caps with the gold glitter.  They actually sent the caps in the wheel vintiques box even.  They just cut out the Wheel Vintiques info and put a blank sticker over it.  Yes, they shipped me their competitors product still in the competitors box. 

When I called them on it to return them they acted surprised and finally embarassed but told me I should pay shipping back.  After a lot of argument, they finally agreed to send a UPS call tag for it to be picked up.  Well, in the past month, they have promised me this 3 more times and promised they would mail me a label one another occasion.  Guess what?  The box has been sitting on my front porch for the entire time.  They have done nothing. 

I was very nice and cordial until today.  After making them talk to me and pay attention, I, informed them that I would be disputing the charge.

Anyway, watch out....Stockton and Wheel Vintiques (via Coker Tire - another bad experience in itself and/or Summit) has lower prices sometimes, but...

Now....take a look at the great looking product I finally rec'd from......Specialty Wheel.......... they get my budsiness from now on.

Bad experience:

Stockton Wheel
Coker Tire
Wheel Vintiques

Good Experience:

Specialty Wheel

I ordered a set of custom 15 inch ralllyes from stockton and they forgot to drill the valve stem holes! They did take care of the problem with no hassles, so i cant complain.  I usually buy a set of decent rallye center cap and refinish them myself...the caps on my 70 i have now were restored by me and they came out nice.

OK, I ordered a set of 15X7 Rally's from Jegs, that ultimately came from Wheel Vintiques. No problem there. I did order a set of 14" Rally wheel trim rings from Stockton that were total crapola.  :swear: A total generic POS, that was probably meant for a Chebby. OK, I'm done venting.  :lol2:

Sorry about the bad deal with stockton. Any way welcome to the site and your Cuda looks great. I bought my last set of center caps at Mopar Nationals so I could see what I was buying right there. Give us some information about your Mopar.
