Nice!

Hey, for us rookies that are not up on them... Which is which?

I like the straight spoke in the bottom picture just a touch more myself.

Have you any experience with trying the C5 or C6 brake templates on these?

I guess I don't know if practically all 18's work with those brakes or not, soooo I'm sorry if it is a redundant question with a rather obvious answer. You can translate that last part as you see fit.;)

Sorry, I added which was which above the wheels. The pad length on the VWW wheels is .75". The C5/C6 kits need about .78" caliper clearance. It is very close but you will probably need a very small spacer to push the wheel out away from the face of the caliper to clear the brake.

No worries, I didn't know so I asked.

Now, that is some useful info. :thumbsup:

It's nice to see they added a 11" wheel to the mix.When I talked to them 9.5" was as wide as they were going to have.:thumbsup:

Vintage does not offer any custom finish options. We could always paint them for you.
