Just got back from vacation. As for price they are all over the place. 350.00 to 750.00 each depending on size and style.

Well here she is but it may not be much help. This weekend she gets striped down. The paint is is great shape but I have lusted for a black Chevelle w/white stripes. Black vinyl top and white interior. My buddies are accomodating me for next to nothing. Just a little extra cash for their projects. Plus everyone who sees this car knows the original owner and its history. It's time to make it mine and take it up a notch. Complete Hotchkis suspension w/QA1shocks and maybe a gear vendor unit for the 4-speed. This is a 454, 4-speed car with 12 bolt 4-11 rearend.

#1) Boze Speedsters
17x8 = 475.00 17x10 = 475.00
18x8 = 650.00 18x10 = 650.00

#2) Boze ZE Boost Forged
17x8 = 525.00 17x10 = 525.00
18x8 = 700.00 18x10 = 700.00

#3) Bon Speed Delta
17x8 = 452.00 17x10 = 479.00
18x8 = 557.00 18x10 = 577.00

#4) Bon Speed Wild Thang
17x8 = 452.00 17x10 = 479.00
18x8 = 557.00 18x10 = 577.00

#5) Boyd Blasters
17x8 = 429.00 17x9.5 = 446.00
18x8 = 566.00 18x9.5 = 570.00

#6) Foose 500
17x8 = 575.00 17x10 = 625.00
18x8 = 625.00 18x10 = 625.00

1,2 and 6 are my favorite. I really like 1 because it is simple but hot looking but 2 and 6 have the rivets and look a bit meaner. The Foose 500 are looking good right now.

Two more options. The first is Billet Specialties Fast Tracks. I originally loved this wheel but wanted the smooth lip. Now that I know they make that version it is back on the list. The second is Boyd Coddington Dictators. A really mean looking wheel.

Ok I have two more selections. The first is the rim that my buddy who by the way is painting my car likes. They are Boze Pro Touring Lusters but they are expensive @ 710.00 each. I can get another version with a satin center and rivets @ 700.00 each. The next one is Bon Speeds Quasar and much more managable @ 577.00 each. I love the Billet Specialties Fuelie wheels but at almost 1000.00 each they are out. The Quasars are very close in look. Still that being said. Those Pro Touring rims are sick looking. I think I may have it down to #1 and #6 on the first page and maybe these 2. I like option #2 alot also as it seems most here do but they do resemble a traditional rim like the Track Stars. I am going for the pro touring look.

You know which ones I like scooter. Oh by the way you didn't show up tonight. You must of went to the Castle show.
The car is all prepped, sanded, chips and dings and all that are fixed and ready for Sealer. I'll be out at Dougs Sat at 10:00 am to start taping. Everything still on schedule.
Car is looking real good with no problems.

Later

You'll have to post before and after pics to show everyone...

My suggestion regardless of which you choose is keep the diameter small. I know they're very trendy, but I think the large dia. wheels look FREAKISHLY out of proportion.
