Man, talk about a changed look! Pretty sweet!!!

I really like the flat black look on that, lips looks good to, how much did a set up like that run you?

That really looks good!

Looks great!! What tire combination do you choose?

what type of suspension are you running? lowered or airbags

Thanks guys! Im running a 275-40-20 with a 5.5bs rim on on the rear and a 245-40-18 with 4.5bs up front. The car in lowered with springs only. Approx 2" in rear and 3"in front, no bags for now! Rides and drives good without any rubbing issuses at all, didnt even have to trim the rear fender lip.

The Coys wheels look :thumbsup:

What size are the front and rear tires?

That is a very safe tire & wheel combo so you shouldn't have any clearance problems at your ride height,at either end.
I ran pretty much that same set-up on my former 68 Elky back in the late 1990's. 18x8 TT II's in front with 4.5" backspace and BFG 255/40/18's & 20x10 TT II's with 275/35/20 Michelins. 2" drop springs in front only.

I wish Coys would have sent me 5.5" back space wheels like I ordered, glad it worked out for you. See my web site to see how they treated me. Jim.

Jim, I hate to hear of your troubles. I dealt with Dave on my order, all in all he was ok to deal with, he didnt return a couple of my calls either. They screwed up on my shipping. I called 3 days before they were supposed to be at my house to get a tracking #. 6-8days shipping is what I was told and there was some type of mix up and they never left there shop. I was alittle bummed but he made it right, he had them to me in 3 days after that call.

Thanks for posting the link to your website. I read your story with great interest. I hope all of our sponsors read this and take heed. Provide good service and you will be rewarded. Screw it up and not make it right and.......

I realize there are always 2 sides to the story, but in customer service the customer is always presumed to be correct.

Looks nice! Thanks for the info, I would like to lower my car alittle more, but my main concern is driveability. So it will stay like it is for awhile.

Great Choice, I think a lot of people are over going the Black wheel centers but it works really well with your black top! Looks great. You nailed the stance.

Approx 2" in rear and 3"in front, no bags for now! Rides and drives good without any rubbing issuses at all, didnt even have to trim the rear fender lip. Looks great!! :thumbsup:

We just put bags on our yellow 72 Chevelle and love it. It was lowered 3 1/2" in front and 3" in back (pics in sig and profile) now that it has bags we are looking at the 18"/20" combo.

Really looks good,great job!:thumbsup:And major props to you for not putting on shiny wheels.:yes:
Don't take this wrong but I would so lose that bodyside moulding if it were my car,it's really detracting from the look...:yes:

Thanks! I have mixed feelings on the side molding myself! But they are original on the car, with the clips that go through the fender. Not just tacky taped on. So if the car ever gets repainted they with probably come off.:thumbsup:

Ya really need to let it go......EVERYTIME someone posts they have Coys wheels you have to jump in about your experience....guess I'll need to pay more attention and post right behind you about how WONDERFUL my experience was.......

Well Cliff, I guess since you had a wonderful experience, my bad experience doesn't count. You're welcome to post right behind me, I'm glad you had a good experience. I Just want people to know it isn't alweays a bed of roses. If you think I'm one of those people who you can't ever please, check my feedback on Ebay, user name chev777, 100% perfect both ways. As far as my letting it go, not happening till it get straightened out. Have a couple other thoughts for you, but I think I'll keep them to myself.

Is that style of wheel available in 17" - Car looks great.

The more experiences posted, good or bad, is in the best interest of the consumer. The posts will be helpful for folks trying to decide if this company is worth their time and money. Posting your experience for spite just makes you look like a clown. Don't do it because he does, do it because Coys DIDN'T screw your purchase up. You cannot blind yourself into thinking that since they did you right, that everyone else must be a whiny, self-serving, business-wrecker with no other goal other than spreading hate. It's just delusional.

Looks really good...I have been looking at coys wheels....seen the have the c57 in chrome now.... really liking the chrome black in the c5 too...I like the stance of your car with the 20 on the back...I was thinking 20's and 18's like your's... I worried about half' the 20in wheel being to far up in the fender. But looks right on yours... You order them direct from them or like off ebay?
