Need Pictures of Forgeline ZX3R Wheels on 1st Gen Camaro

[ItDoRun]

Is anybody running the Forgeline ZX3R wheels on their 1st gen Camaro? I would like to see pictures of these wheels on a Camaro if possible. I'm having a hard time picturing them on a 68 Camaro.

I doubt you will find a Camaro with the ZX3Rs on it because they are racing wheels and have no center cap provisions. There is no center cap for them.

I do not have a ZX3R / Camaro picture, but I do have a ZX3P (street version) on a Firebird.

Frank,
Forgeline quoted me a price on the ZX3R's with center caps. I asked him to verify that those wheels have provisions for center caps. I should know tomorrow.

Where's the cheapest place to get Forgeline's? Any suggestions?

^^ Yep, center caps are now being made for the racing series.

Frank and Lisa Serafine at GP Superstore/Prodigy Customs! Thanks again Frank!

Ya know what. I did not know they got them finished. I have been on them about doing some center caps, guess they are done.

As for best deals, I think we sold almost all the Forgelines you see on the cars here.

The reason I was looking at the ZX3R's is because they were the only 17" wheel available through Forgeline. HOWEVER, after reading all the posts about 18" wheels on 1st gens, I'm slowly changing my mind on the 17's. I prefer the WC3's like Penny, but am curious if I can pull off the stance with 18's being that I'll be running the DSE 3" lowered leafs and their coilover set up on the front with their tubular CA's. What size wheels and backspacing would I need? I was going to run a 17x11 (5.5" BS) on the rear and 17x8 (4.875" BS) on the front. 315's and 245's tire sizes. What would be an equivalent size with 18's. I see most people are running 335/30/18's on the rear with mini tubs. Suggestions please.

[ProdigyCustoms]

It is funny. I got a call from Forgeline today asking me how popular I thought 17s would be if they were to expand their line and ad more 17s. We talked about it for a hour. Must have been instigated by your inquiry for 17s.

Call me tomorrow. We have set up dozens of these, but there are so many variables, and I talk much better then I type.

Go big or go home. :D Sounds like you are going to slam it pretty good. Thin sidewalls will look much better.

Personally I'd like to see more wheel manufacturers offering wheels in 17". Some guys like a little more rubber. I realize that the trend is going towards bigger wheels (18+) but I'd like to see more offerings in 17's. Plus Forgelines look amazing and are definitely on the short list when I'm at that point.

[ProdigyCustoms]

OK, so I was correct in my first post, although seeing the center caps listed on the web site had me thinking I was in step child statues, LOL!

I just got off the phone with my guys at Forgeline about the center caps. The center caps for the racing series ARE NOT YET FINISHED and are still in development stages. The picture and center cap information was prematurely posted to the web site.

The center caps are coming. There are some attachement issues holding up the release right now. I will let everyone know soon as they are ready.

Frank,
I'll call you tomorrow to discuss options and pricing.

Can the racing series be used on the street for a daily driver?

[ProdigyCustoms]

Yes, not a problem using the racing series on the street. Just the center cap issue, which will be solved soon

Got a reply back from Forgeline today, and the lowest backspacing they can do on a 17" wheel, currently, is 6.9". This would leave me with a near stock width rear end which I really don't want. Decisions...decisions! Why can't this stuff be easy?

[ProdigyCustoms]

What sizes do you need? Stock tubs? I can do some cool tricks with 18s. We can do a 3.9 backspace with a 4.5" lip on a 9.5" in 18" sizes with some special inner rim shells they ordered for me. Makes for a badd ass look without excessive wheel bearing stress.

[ItDoRun]

Mini tubbed. I was originally going to do 17x11's with 5.5" BS for the rear and 17x8 with 4.875" BS for the front. I don't really care for the fat lip design, but would like to see some pictures of what you're describing above. I prefer the old school look. What are most people doing for sizes on 18's with mini tubs?
