Re: Vintage Wheels 17 inch BRM delay
Received this from the wheel manufacturer this morning.......seems our pals actions are haunting me too now.......and RCR wheels are not even the same backspacing....HHHHMMMM!!!!!
What upsets me the most is that I was informed the wheels were already airfreighted....damn.....


Hi
It is still a bit difficult to commit to a shipping date.
Please believe me I am pushing as hard as I can for this month.

I do have one small problem.
You ordered 20 off 17 x 9.5 114.3/120.65.
I have got 24 roaring forties castings that I would like to use seeing that
I can not load a die for 20 wheels only.
The problem is that I can not do multi pcd's on them so can I do 10 in 114.3 and
the other 10 in 120.65.

Regards
Andre van Niekerk

Re: Vintage Wheels 17 inch BRM delay
As an FYI....

15" BRM ..................IN STOCK.....
15" HALIBRANDS....... IN STOCK.....
17" HALIBRANDS .......IN STOCK.....

So there are still plenty of choices with no waiting....

Re: Vintage Wheels 17 inch BRM delay
Hi Fran,

The manufacturer's comments left me wondering:

Will the 17" BRMs have the same width and offset as the 17" Halibrands?

Will the 17" BRMs have both Ford & Chevy PCDs? (Not too important since I assume our RCRs use the same pattern front and back)

I appreciate the candid update.

Regards,

Al

Thumbs up Re: Vintage Wheels 17 inch BRM delay
Al,

the wheels will have the same backspacing/width as I use on the 15" wheel packages, the dual drilling is just a failsafe from the factory....

No issues from the RCR side.....other than supply and demand..

Candid??...I am just trying to offer full disclosure and maintain RCR's integrity as we are all only as good as our word..even today in our suspicious and tainted society....its the most important quality anyone can have...IMHO.

Re: Vintage Wheels 17 inch BRM delay
Tell you what, you get some 15" Halibrands and I'll send you my 15" BRMs. Been thinking I should have gotten Halibrands anyhow as I've always liked them and the Vintage/RCR Halibrands are really nice. You don't need that 17" bling anyhow and I'll bet you a benjamin you'll be just as fast on track.

Re: Vintage Wheels 17 inch BRM delay
Ron,

I'm glad that it looks like the RF castings are a no-go. I'd hate the thought of buying the same wheels twice :-)

Fran,

That's why I bought the RCR (that and the English accent ):

Candid:

1. Free from prejudice; impartial
2. Characterized by openness and sincerity of expression; unreservedly straightforward
3. Not posed or rehearsed

Al
