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.

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.

Will they come in custom backspacing?

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