American Vintage Rims?

Post by Tbird » Fri Jun 05, 2020 4:53 pm

Is American Vintage Rims still in operation? I tried calling the number and sent an email over a week ago. Does anyone know?

They weren’t answering the phone 18+ months ago either...

They make (or maybe “made”) beautiful rims... it would be a shame to loose a quality vendor

So where are you guys getting your rims?

I get mine at swap meets and auctions. I've sometimes gotten them amazingly cheap at auctions. Good ones at swap meets usually go for more, but still much less costly than new ones. If you can't wait until we're having swap meets and auctions again, Coker's website shows new rims.
