I only really know about Wheel Vintiques.

Having said that, I would order from Jegs (or anywhere besides directly from Wheel Vintiques).  After we got the tires mounted we noticed a flaw in the rim and Jegs took great care of us (sent a new wheel while ours was in the mail, all free of charge)... we heard horror stories from the guys at the tire shop about how Wheel Vintiques won't take anything back once you've touched the wheel.
mmmmm.... Mopar.... *drool*

My chrome rallye's are Wheel Vintiques butpurchased from Jeg's. One of my rear 15 X 10 wheels had 2 valve stem holes drilled  :roflsmiley:. I called Jegs - sent them a pic - Wheel Vintiques built me another asap and shipped direct to me no charge. Neither one wanted the wheel back, in fact I had the tire shop install 2 stems and ran it that way until the new one arrived - about 2 weeks. Nobody even noticed the 2 stems unless I pointed it out.  I was very impressed with how Jegs and Wheel Vintiques responded. Overall I am very happy with the wheels.

That wheel is a collectors item. Built on a Monday morning or a Friday before end of day.
Or maybe the guy was on the cell phone at the same time while working on it.

 No problem - Took me awhile to pull the trigger on these when I bought them. The deciding factors were they look kind of stock, never seen another set, and the bling factor  :bigshades:. I get a lot of good comments on them. Don't think I have ever received a negative comment - probably cause Mopar fans are so polite  :bigsmile:

Drives me nuts - I resize the pics and they go too small in my opinion - just can't figure out how to keep them "large:!!  :banghead:

I bought my Wheel Vintiques Rallyes from Summit Racing.  They are a great looking wheel, made in the U.S.A. not China, and no more expensive than decent mag wheels.  What's not to like!  If yours is a 72-74, if you want to keep the correct stock look you'll need to get wheel centers from someone else as WV only makes the earlier cone styles correct for 70 or 71s.  I bought mine off Ebay no problem.

Wheel Vintiques and Jegs  :ylsuper:  I believe my centers came from Year One - a little pricey but almost worth it  :bigsmile:

After a bit of research, I purchased my 17" Wheel Vintiques *ahem* Chevy Rallyes from Summit. If you do a bit of Google-Fu, you'll come across the occasional bad wheel with bad feedback from Wheel Vintiques - but only if you buy/deal direct with them. If you purchase through Summit or Jegs, and you do get a bad wheel, they'll sort it out directly with you, and then deal with the manufacturer by themselves after the fact.

Be sure to buy from either vendor and not direct from the manufacturer, and you won't have a problem.
