Coker Tire has long been known as the source for classic and muscle car tires, but the latest acquisitions by the Coker Group should ensure that the company becomes the vendor of choice for muscle car and race car wheels as well. On January 8, the Coker Group announced its purchase of wheel manufacturers Vintage Wheel Works and PS Engineering, broadening its offerings to the restoration marketplace.
Each of the two wheel companies has its own specialty. Vintage Wheel Works began offering products for the domestic muscle car market in 1991, initially focusing its efforts on first-generation Mustangs, Camaros, and Corvettes. From the beginning, its goal was to offer wheels that looked period-correct but were manufactured with modern materials (and modern processes) in sizes to accommodate larger contemporary performance tires. Vintage Wheel Works calls itself the first manufacturer to focus on domestic muscle cars, and today offers fitments for nearly any such vehicle, built from the 1950s through the 1980s.
