Last year we kicked off our second annual RCN Drivers’ Choice Awards program to recognize the top products and services in the world of replicas, unique classics and homebuilt cars. We posted 20 categories ranging from tools, tires and brakes, all the way up to complete turnkey vehicles and builder packages, and you voted for your favorites. Unfortunately we were not able to hand out our Drivers’ Choice Awards in person at the SEMA Show with its 2020 cancellation, but we look forward to recognizing our winners over the coming weeks here at rcnmag.com.

Nothing transforms a vehicle’s appearance quite like a new set of wheels, but in the world of replicas, kits and vintage race cars, it can be difficult to find custom wheel options with the right nostalgic flavor. We’re fortunate enough to know a few names in the industry that can provide those hard-to-find rim styles, many of which were nominated in the Wheel category of the 2020 Drivers’ Choice Awards. We’re proud to announce that our friends at Vintage Wheels were awarded the gold medal in this category.

Vintage Wheels is located in San Diego, California, and specializes in traditional wheel designs for kit cars, replicas and muscle cars. In addition to tried-and-true designs like kidney bean-style wheels and Halibrand-style bolt-ons for street cars and hot rods, Vintage Wheels offers a huge selection of Cobra and GT40-specific wheel designs, such as pin-drive Halibrands, 289 FIA pin-drives and BR-style wheels for GTs. Vintage Wheels offers a great selection of finishes and sizes, and can also set you up with hard-to-find tires like Goodyear Eagle billboards and Blue Streaks. Vintage Wheels also sells a host of wheel accessories, like spinners, pin-drive adapter kits, end caps, lug nuts and more.

Congratulations to Vintage Wheels, along with Trigo Wheels and Tire Rack, who finished second and third in the Wheel category respectively.

Thanks to all who voted, along with all the companies nominated in this category!
