Re: steel wheel help
I'm going to check with Stockton Wheel and see about widening my stock ones. Shipping is going to be high though.

Re: steel wheel help
When I had wheels done by Stockton it was twice as much as just purchasing a new set through Wheel Vintiques (via Summit Racing). It was also 5x as frustrating….
Your dime. Your time.

Re: steel wheel help
The ones in my possession don't seem like they're powder coated but they definitely have some type of sealer/primer coating.

Re: steel wheel help
WV advertises their series 82 8 lug OEM style wheels as being proudly made in the USA, not china.

Either way its an American company, with solid customer service in my experience, that provides great vintage steelies for our rides... I myself have bought 3 sets from them and never once had a problem. Free shipping from Jegs right now and a few bucks in spray paint and you're on your way. No sure if you have a Les Schwab tire shop where you're at but they did my last set, sand blasted and powdercoated white for $40 a wheel. ![]() ![]()

Re: steel wheel help
last time I called wheel vintique's for a quote, the delays were due to component manufacturing lead times.. they don't build every series all the time, they run in batches.. I suspect if they were made overseas they would be piled deep and wide..

Re: steel wheel help
Wheel Vintiques prices really jump up after the 15" sizes.
Their 18" rims look to cost more that Detroit Steel's, but I haven't priced out either one with all the trim rings, center caps, clip installs. Detroit Steel's smalled diameter is 18" and I want 17s. Not 8-lug as I have a '63 Suburban and am probably going to change over to 5-lug 5x5s. US Wheel's look to be less expensive but I think (from my very limited research) that they are made in China or "offshore" somewhere. Growing up in the Bay Area, I used to use Stockton Wheel years (and years and more years) ago. But after a few attempts just to get some simple answers out of them such as "Do you have 17s and if so how much?" I just gave up on them.

Re: steel wheel help
I checked w/Wheel Vintiques on the lead time for some 17" wheels. They told me mid to late December (that was 2wks ago).
If someone wants specific vs. standard back-spacing, it could be a decent wait time.
