Wheel Vintiques

Anyone bought from them? I'm looking at their Ford look-alike wheels. I'd like to get a set that are a bit wider than stock. My truck is lowered a little with drop beams and I'm not sure which size to grab.

This is what I'm looking for, their 64 series. They offer them in various widths. I was going to go with 15x6 up front and 15x10 in the rear if that will fit.

5x5.5 bolt pattern. Not sure on the backspacing (they list 4 in backspace for the 6 inch wheels and 4.5 inch for the 10 inch wheels) or the size for the center hole (does 4.25 sound right?)

I've got the white ones on my Bronco. Can't remember if the PO bought them bare and had them powder coated, or if they came white already.
He got them from Summit in 15x7 with 4" backspacing, and they've worked out well.
I don't know if they would fit stock hubcaps like some would like to use, but I'm not a wheel cover kind of guy so have not tried them.
But they work well otherwise, as expected, and look the part.

Thanks, that's a very nice looking Bronco you have there.

I went ahead and ordered a set after reading your post and seeing that some of the guys with earlier Fords had good experiences with them. I ordered through Summit as I know if something isn't up to par, they'll let me return them no questions asked.

Decided just to get the ones in primer. They are half as much and I was already on the fence about the chrome vs. black. My 73 is Ford Wind Blue, so I think the black will look good and save me money.

I'm also not a hubcap guy. I went with some spider covers and beauty rings.

Great, hope they work out for you.
Thanks for the compliments. It's a fun rig, with mostly original paint on the outside but fully gone through underneath and inside. New paint in the engine compartment with a rebuilt Explorer engine and trans. Inside has tinted Raptor Liner that matches the original Peacock Blue very nicely.
I think the stock-ish looking wheels with 31" tires really set it off nicely.

Pics?? Part numbers?? I'm still on the fence with what wheels to use on my 76. Stock chrome wheels would be nice.
