Just looking for feedback and pics of coys C-5 wheel on a chevelle.

look on there web page. they are a cheap wheel becuase they are not made in the usa(what is thease says anyway) they look nice but then again you get what you pay for

Lots of excellent quality wheels are made outside our borders. Some of the very best are,too.

And some of the worst.

Not to belabor the point but you could say that about a lot of domestic stuff.

I decided to go with a different wheel. I called coy's and there are no dealers in Texas so he says. I would rather buy where someone will stand behind them and be local.

Oh you mean like American Racing Wheels? Just because it says American, doesn't mean it is. American Racing even states on their own website that they occasionaly make their wheels in other countries.

Yanked from American Racing Wheels website:

Q: Where are your wheels made?
A: The majority of our wheels are made in our state of the art facility in Rancho Dominguez, California, just outside of Long Beach, CA. However, on occasion we use other facilities located throughout the world.

You have to wonder how often that "Occasion" is.

I myself am purchasing a set of the C-5 Silver painted 18x8, and 18x9.5 wheels for my '70 from Coy's, and I could careless where they where made. Sure it's always nice to support American companies, but let's face it, how many of the aftermarket parts your restoring your "American" muscle car, are actually built in the USA? Most of the one's I used on my car sure as hell weren't. Did the sticker on the back of your Ground Up parts say "Made in the USA"? Probably not. I have an American car, that's slightly Asian now. Sad but true, and I don't mind, as long as it looks good, and still eats imports on demand.

The Coy's wheels are a good deal plain and simple, and I haven't read one really bad thing about them, anywhere so far. Actually, I have read more bad things about Budniks, and Billet Specialties wheels being soft than any others, and from what I've read, they easily bend if slightly curbed. So why would I want to spend gobs of my hard earned cash, for something that cost so much, if it doesn't perform any better than a less expensive wheel, that IMO looks just as nice?.....I wouldn't.
