i cant beleive they dont advertise more..your lucky to buy used wheels at those prices...

imaindianoutlaw · 01-01-2003, 06:39 PM

wow! never heard of them!
cheap rallys!

*Shane* · 01-01-2003, 07:51 PM

Their headquarters are located in Decatur, Alabama ... only about 20 miles from me. Lots of guys around here have them because they are a "local" company. Very nice looking wheels too ... especially at those prices.

thanks shane...hopefully they'll get back to me or get their web site finished..didnt see anything about them having a catalog..i never heard of them before and figured alot of people on here didnt either so i figured i'd pass the word on

special70gmc · 01-01-2003, 10:09 PM

i wish i didnt have 8 lug, so ,much more choices in any other lug pattern

autorecycler · 01-01-2003, 10:13 PM

they do look good!!!

mooneyes · 01-02-2003, 09:19 PM

for any one wanting to know..the torque thrust looking wheels only come in 17"x8" but there only $139..and they do have a catalog ...i just ordered mine...think i might go with the "style 70" (outlaw 1 )

Truckstr · 01-02-2003, 09:40 PM

I have a set of Vision 15 x ?, 6 lug, on my '67. I presently have BFG P275/60R-15s mounted on 'em now. I like 'em. I have no complaints.

P.S. I'll be getting rid of them before long when I shift the '67 over to 5-lug hubs and front discs. They'll go on the market then. I'll be looking for a set of truck rallye wheels at that time. Trade anyone?

Truckstr · 01-02-2003, 09:57 PM

Ok here's a pic (I hope).

Truckstr · 01-02-2003, 10:02 PM

Forget it. I fixed it. Dang &^%$*#@* 'puters.

Thanks for the link!

I've been looking for a set of rims like #72 for a while now.

nate68 · 01-03-2003, 02:00 PM

i have some from vision. the only thing i didnt like about them is that the clear coat on them is kind of cheap and if you use wheel cleaner it takes it off. eventually i'll get something else but for now they're fine. they don't make my style anymore. you can get them through les schwab tire stores.

pat · 01-04-2003, 09:16 PM

I emailed them about a catalog. I cant understand why there has to be such a jump in price from 17 to 20 inch wheels? Still cheap though. I think Ill have to buy from them. Are there any dealers in the north Texas area that anyone knows of?

mooneyes · 01-04-2003, 10:15 PM

Truckstr: those are nice wheels i would try putting them on the parts board for sale or trade

pat: i dont know any dealers at all was thinking about asking them if they needed one..but i was quoted $40 shipping on 4 wheels from Alabama to Pa..didnt think that was bad at all..damn near pay that in taxes if you bought in your own state

pat · 01-04-2003, 11:33 PM

Forty bucks shipping does seem cheap for four big wheels. Im confused, I dont know anything about taxes. If Im getting you right mooneyes, your saying I can buy wheels from them, out of state, and not pay taxes?

mooneyes · 01-05-2003, 12:04 AM

anything mail order..if you look on any order form it will say for example:

sales tax for pa residents only) and that would be if the company you ordered from was in Pa and so where you...so yes if you live out of the state the company is in you dont pay sales tax..hope i explained it well enough

nate68 · 01-06-2003, 02:07 PM

when i ordered them i didnt pay any sales tax (california) or shipping for some reason. i ordered them directly from vision because they were hella cheaper than anywhere else.

~72'Pete~ · 01-06-2003, 03:40 PM

are they a california company?

mooneyes · 01-06-2003, 06:39 PM

they have a place in California and Alabama

*Shane* · 01-06-2003, 07:57 PM

The headquarters is in Decatur, AL ... but they have a distribution center and office in CA too.
