Very nice wheels but IMHO not as sharp looking as the VTO Retro 4. See ad this page. I am seriously thinking about buying a set of 15" x 6" Retro 4's in Black from Hap at Acme. Anybody purchased these and have any feedback to post here?
Thanks,

Great looking rim. I like the Retro 4's as well, but the Silverstone is a correct period looking rim. Please post more info if someone gets a set.

Thanks,

Eric

Thanks,

I "photoshopped" the black Retro 4's on to my car to try and get an idea of how they'd look. Now I'm leaning more toward their Lemans wheel which is a graphite color. The black may be too harsh for Mimosa.

I think you're right Bob. The black does look a bit harsh on the yellow. I really like the color of the LeMans too but the Retro 4 only comes in black or silver and I think the black would pop nicely on my white car. If you photoshop the Graphite LeMans please post a pic as I've been torn between the Retro 4 and the LaMans all week and have not seen the LeMans on a TR6.
Cheers,
