: looking for a 18" black rim/polished lip
mcfadyen72 Mar 29th, 08, 4:03 AM does anyone know a manufacturer that makes a rim like this for a 70 chevelle, i want a pro-touring look.
also i don't want to spend a fortune or wait 2 months to get them.
shep_77 Mar 29th, 08, 4:16 AM Something like this maybe http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1-NEW-18x9-5x114-3-HotWheels-Sixty-Eight-Wheel-Rim_W0QQitemZ220177718064QQihZ012QQcategoryZ43958Q QrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQ cmdZViewItem yes this example is the wrong bolt patten you can get them in the correct one.
mcfadyen72 Mar 29th, 08, 4:24 AM yeah i saw those, but the discount tire website only had them in 17". they are kinda cool.
Bad66Chevelle454 Mar 29th, 08, 11:11 AM What about the American Racing CL205's? They have a gray center, with a polished lip.

mcfadyen72 Mar 29th, 08, 2:13 PM yeah, i wonder how long it takes to get one of those American Racing CL205's to you though. they are a custom order right? how long did it take for you, and how much were they?
Chirp08 Mar 29th, 08, 2:42 PM i really like those wheels, but they are deffinately the new trend wheel, which is making me shy away from them :/
Bad66Chevelle454 Mar 29th, 08, 3:29 PM They are custom ordered. I bought them used off a another member on here, so it only took two weeks. :) I think new with tires I was quoted around 2200.
Chirp, they are becoming popular, just like the TTII's. But it doesnt bother me. TTII's still look killer, even if everybody has them.
happygounlucky86 Mar 29th, 08, 3:35 PM hey Tim i love that stance, I would drive it around as it is... looks mean as hell haha. Thumbs up. Are those 18's in the front and 20's on the rear?

Awesome indeed! what b/s are you running? standard suspension or other rubbing issues?
i'm trying to size out a 18/20 combo myself
1960LesPaul Apr 4th, 08, 11:26 PM These are awesome looking rims by Boze alloys. It is part of their ZE forged set. They are pricey at 760.00 each regardless of whether its and 18x7, 18x8, 18x9 or 18x10. You can find them at www.newstalgiawheel.com
mcfadyen72 Apr 6th, 08, 4:27 AM ouch! $2500 for rims is wayyyyy to much.
Bad66Chevelle454 Apr 6th, 08, 2:05 PM SlimDuster,
I'm on air ride suspension, so in that picture it's layed out. The front cross member is actually on the ground. The front have 4" B.S. and the rear have 4.5" B.S. I would probably bump the front up to 4.5" if I could. I havent driven with these wheels yet, as you can see the entire car is apart. If you want, send me an e-mail at Bad66Chevelle454@aol.com and I'll send you a spreadsheet that might help your desicion. Let me know if I can help at all!
