wheel update

Here is a follow up to my post on what wheels to put on my Series iv. After a lot of thought, I went with John Brown Wheels from England. That is the good news, now the bad. After waiting for some time, I called and found out that my wheels are on the ship being held for ransom in the Suez Canal. Go figure. John Brown wheels were very nice and returned my money. I found another company , VTO. I just put them on my car and they look great. They were very helpful and had the wheels sent out within days. Check them out.
End of story.

Wow, that's crazy - what are the odds! Fortunately, my wheels from John Brown didn't get held hostage. Beautiful wheels, great price and yes, great people to work with.

Thanks Mike, I remember your wheels, very nice!

I was referring to jerseyjoes where he wanted us to "check them out"
Cheers!

Mike H - John Brown actually calls them Minilites. I'm not sure if they have the rights to that name, or what.

Steve - I was hoping jersyjoe would post a picture too - side by side comparison.

albeam - thanks, I really like the way it turned out too. Lot's of compliments on the color when I'm out and about!

Mine don't say Minilite anywhere on them. They are a little different too. It's a mystery. They are really well made wheels.
