Gauging interest in repro 15x8 six-lug steelies! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

UPDATE: I talked to Wheel Vintiques last week and told them a whole bunch o' people wanted a 6-lug version of their 5-lug steel wheel. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to give a crap. I was trying to get through to a decision maker, but the sales guy didn't care.

So, new tactic: Everyone above who said they'd be in, call Wheel Vintiques and apply the pressure! I've called a few times, I've been told I'd get called back, never to any avail. If all of us call them a time or two, either they'll get the message or they'll just be turning away sales. Wheel Vintiques: 1.800.959.2100

That's a shame to hear. I will be one calling them applying pressure. I recently bought me a set but had to drive 400 miles to get them so I am one that is interested in having them as a option at Wheel Vintiques.
