<pre wrap="">Hi Jerry,
I didn't know about VTO wheels. I'll definitely give Acme Speed Shop a
call. I see that the VTO wheel starts off as an A356 casting tempered to
T6. Anyone know what the materials and tempering are for the GC360 wheel?

<pre wrap="">David by the time the TR250’s came around a 4 spoke American Racing
Libre wheel which are nearly impossible to find these days was getting
popular with racers. There are some photos of Group 44’s TR6 with these
wheels. Fortunately VTO Wheels makes a nice knock off in several
styles. Acme Speed Shop sells these or you can go direct to VTO. These
would be in my opinion more period correct for Late TR4A’s 250’s and
6’s. Had they been available when I bought my Panasports I’d have
purchased them instead. Having said all this it’s your car and your
option to buy what you like. Web site for Acme is below.

Hi David,
All good questions. The only objective answers are weight and more of an
authentic vintage look with the GC360 Silverstone replicas. These will
be going on my 1968 TR250. The Panasports weigh 18 lbs and the GC360
Silverstone IIs weigh 15 lbs. The Panasports are more of a Minilite look
while the GC360's are close to exact replicas of the original American
Racing Mags available at the time. The only difference I can see is that
they're aluminum and not magnesium and they're 6" wide versus 5" for the
ARE. Still undecided but the authenticity of the look is important to
me. Thanks for your input.

I see your Comm. number but don't know what model/year
vehicle you're driving. How much would a set of the GC360
wheels cost (I don't see any prices on their website)?
If you're currently running Panasports, what's your incentive
to switch to something that looks so much like it?

Folks,
I'm currently running Panasport Extra Light Weight wheels but I'm
thinking of buying a set of these:

Anyone here have experience with these American Racing Silverstone
II replicas? Are you happy with them or would you recommend I stay
with my Panasports?
BTW, checkout these original ARE's sold on ebay:
