Frequently Asked Questions

How authentic are Legendary wheels compared to original factory wheels?

Legendary Wheels are among the most authentic reproductions available, manufactured with extraordinary attention to detail. Their research and development process begins with extensive examination and measurement of original factory wheels, documenting every dimension, contour, and styling element. The reproduction wheels are created using these exacting specifications, with tooling developed specifically to recreate authentic details. While utilizing modern materials and manufacturing techniques that often improve upon the originals in terms of durability and consistency, Legendary maintains the visual accuracy that restoration specialists demand. For concours-level restorations, they can provide documentation regarding any minor variances from original equipment, though these differences are typically imperceptible to all but the most scrutinizing judges.

Can Legendary wheels be used with modern brake upgrades?

Yes, many Legendary wheel designs accommodate modern brake upgrades while maintaining period-correct appearances. While their factory reproduction wheels precisely match original dimensions, Legendary offers modified versions specifically engineered to provide clearance for aftermarket brake systems. These wheels retain authentic outer appearances but feature revised center section profiles and internal clearances to accommodate larger calipers and rotors. For restomod projects incorporating significant brake upgrades, Legendary's technical team can provide specific recommendations based on your exact brake kit specifications. Additionally, their Modern Classics Series wheels offer contemporary sizing options (17" and 18" diameters) with vintage styling, providing ample clearance for even the most substantial brake packages while maintaining a period-appropriate aesthetic.

What sets Legendary wheels apart from other reproduction wheel manufacturers?

Legendary Wheels distinguishes itself through several key factors. Their historical research is particularly thorough, often involving the examination of multiple original examples to account for production variations. Their metallurgical standards typically exceed original specifications, using premium materials that enhance durability without compromising appearance. Perhaps most significantly, Legendary offers complete wheel packages including correctly reproduced center caps, trim rings, and hardware – elements that other manufacturers might treat as secondary. Their quality control processes are exceptionally rigorous, with multiple inspection points throughout production. Finally, Legendary's specialized focus on American classics from specific eras has allowed them to develop deep expertise in the subtle details and specifications that matter to serious enthusiasts and restoration specialists, resulting in reproductions that satisfy even the most discerning collectors.

Are Legendary wheels appropriate for daily drivers or primarily for show cars?

While Legendary Wheels are indeed perfect for show vehicles due to their exceptional historical accuracy, they're equally suitable for daily driven classics. Their wheels are engineered using modern manufacturing techniques and materials that typically exceed the specifications of the originals in terms of structural integrity and durability. The superior metallurgy and construction methods result in wheels that can withstand regular use while maintaining their appearance. Legendary's finishing processes also provide better corrosion resistance than vintage originals. For daily drivers, many enthusiasts appreciate that these wheels allow them to maintain authentic period styling while enjoying improved reliability. Additionally, for vehicles driven regularly, Legendary can provide guidance on selecting appropriate modern tires that complement their wheels while offering contemporary performance and safety characteristics.

How do I determine which Legendary wheel is correct for my specific vehicle and year?

Determining the correct Legendary wheel for your specific vehicle involves several considerations. For factory-correct restorations, Legendary provides detailed application guides identifying the exact wheel designs appropriate for specific makes, models, years, and even option packages. These guides include information on original diameters, widths, bolt patterns, backspacing, and finish options. For the most precise determination, Legendary recommends referencing your vehicle's build sheet or original documentation when available. Their customer service team includes specialists with extensive knowledge of factory wheel applications across American manufacturers and can provide specific guidance based on your vehicle's details. For cars with special or rare option packages, providing your VIN can help identify the exact factory wheel specification. For custom or restomod projects, Legendary's technical staff can assist in selecting wheels that maintain period aesthetics while accommodating any modifications you've made to suspension, brakes, or tire sizes.
