I upgraded rotors/brakes to wilwood so pretty sure I need to go with 15" SS rims. Has anyone bought from Newstalgia, pretty pricey, and what size, backspace, etc did you get?

: Anyone purchased SS wheels from Newstalgia? anychevy Jan 10th, 08, 11:22 PM I upgraded rotors/brakes to wilwood so pretty sure I need to go with 15" SS rims. Has anyone bought from Newstalgia, pretty pricey, and what size, backspace, etc did you get? Summit have them for around $130 I'm not sure if they will clear willwood calipers as they still use the 14" centre with a stepped in rim, I think ? musclecarjohn Jan 11th, 08, 11:52 AM Are those the wheel vintiques?I bought a set a while back from Summit I believe...maybe it was Jegs.:noway: LS_5 Jan 11th, 08, 1:40 PM Not sure what size your rotors are, but if they're 13", you need at least 17" wheels. I'd suggest calling Wilwood's tech line and make sure you know what the minimum size is before buying anything. Have to be able to get the calipers behind the wheels without rubbing, too. I bought 18" wheels for my 13" Wilwood rotors, just to be safe. mr Jan 13th, 08, 2:09 PM http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/503/chevellemainff1.jpg Mark "TOOFUN", said these rims are 18", but have that, stock SS rim look. http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/carshow/billet_vintiques.asp?id=63 Is this the style rim, you're lookin for ? I like the, 18" stock looking, 1969/70 Super Sport rims, because they look original . anychevy Jan 13th, 08, 4:12 PM Is this the style rim, you're lookin for ?

Has anyone bought from Newstalgia, pretty pricey, and what size, backspace, etc did you get? I bought 4, 15/8 Wheel Vintique SS wheels from Summit. They had the best price. They will NOT clear 12 discs, as they have a step rim. They are very nice and the trim rings fits perfect. You can choose your back spacing as well form 4 and 3/8 to 5". Go with Summit.
