Vintage Wheel Works V40 or V45 17x8 or 17x9
Anyone running these wheels? any pics if so? I really like these and would like to buy a set so want to see real pics of them on cars.

10-27-2021 #2I run some of the original v45's in 17x9.5 and 17x11 (center section is cast and welded to rolled hoop). My understanding they no longer do custom wheels and you only can get them in a few sizes that are all cast from Coker. On the Coker website they only offer one 17" wheel: 17x8, 5x4.75, 4.75" BS. Can't speak to the quality of them.

FYI - Vintage wheel works was bought out by Coker tyres. They only make the ONE piece wheel last I checked. The chevelle in pic is wearing the TWO piece wheels, and the 2-peice had more customisation available (BS, width etc). I was saving $$$ to buy the 2-piece V45 in 17" for my 68 camaro and was gutted to find out Coker had scaled back the options after buying the company. I was lucky enough to find someone selling a brand new set in the exact dimensions I wanted (total fluke), but yeah - just be aware the options on these wheels (last I checked with coker anyway) was that they were making the one-piece cast units only. I also advised Coker they were using pictures of the 2 peice wheels in their advertising material (which was misleading given they do not sell them anymore) and they were still using those images last I checked. Would post a pic, but I do not have them fitted to my car yet.....sorry!
