I would save a little longer before running any of those Boze wheels.

For me spending 4-5k on wheels doesn't suit me. I'd rather spend around 2k and use the other 3k to put into a transmission for me to rebuild. I guess it comes down to personal preference, like I could have gone with Wilwood 6 piston caliper brakes all around but chose what I thought was the most bang for the buck and went with a Touring Classics kit and was able to redo the front and rear suspension with the difference.

im a BIg fan of boze wheel , but dont like any of the ones you posted above nore do i think they will look good on a first gen... my favorite wheel from them is the pro-touring/mesh , but if you set of a 5 spoke style i would go with the speedstars or the stingers the velocitys are a 6 spoke but look awsome!!! on thier site there are some pics of some first gens.

What 17/18's did you price out at 4-5k?

So far I think I have narrowed it down to 4 styles, been trying to find pictures on a 1st Gen Camaro but not much luck:

Boze Wedge 5:

Boze Muscle:

Boze Five Speed:

Boze Benton:

Thinking of maybe going with the Brushed or perhaps the Metallic Silver or Gunmetal centers as slightly darker center seems to look good with the Le Mans Blue paint.

Any opinions on which rim or color center?



these are for mini-trucks , not even cool ones at that

go with the rushforth wheel

Rushforth in 18x8 and 18x12 were nearly 4k ($3613).


I guess I am not seeing any difference in quality between the wheels in just pictures. Someone made a good suggestion that both Boze and Rushforth are local to me so going to see the wheels in person might help me decide (or least justify the cost difference if I see a big difference in quality).

Thanks for the suggestions :thumbsup:

I kind of like the Mesh/Pro-Touring look myself, but it kind of wrecks my sleeper idea.

How much are the Boze in those sizes?

Boze wheels are not any cheaper in 18x8/18x12(11.5) than Rushforth's.....a 3piece "shifter" was $3,510 from Boze, when I got a price on them couple weeks ago. Even the 2pc version of "shifter" was $3,400 in 12" wide. CCW has the cheapest 18x12" wide wheel I have found

The Boze I can get 17x11 (which would fit the 335/35/17) without the extra charges for widening so I am told about 2k for a pair of 17x8 and 17x11, 18s yes were lot more expensive.

Big differences, trying to find the sweet spot :_paranoid. Thou the VWW v45s are nicely priced as well, fit my brakes and have that period look to em.
