It's placed directly in line with the rotor,so you have to use the flat valve stems with disc brakes. These valve stems require a special inflation tool and are notorious for leaking. I can tell you from personal experience with 13" brakes and 18" wheels that you have to remove the wheel to put air in the tire because the inflation tool is to long to get a tire chuck between it and the rotor.

Whenever i see chrome wheels, I just think "China".
To me they look super tacky and theres nothing worse then a Amercian car with China wheels.


I do understand you budget but with the right leads you never have to settle for those.
I once owed coys c-57's and I was never happy with them. Back spacing was horrible, chrome was peeling, machine work shotey, and customer service was trash.


Sometimes the cheapest way is the most expensive.
Why buy wheels now that later down the line your going to want to sell, take a hit on selling them and then buy the rite wheel for a little more.



Here is a company that sells 2 piece wheels that has around the same pricing a the china..

Thanks for all the responses guys...keep 'em coming!
 

I read where Eagle Alloys are made in the USA!!!
The BOSS 338 in chrome is 'smooth' from front to back with no ridge I like that look...(the gray and black centers have a slight ridge)...

I respect everyones opinions, but I feel musclecars are like harleys and SHOULD have chrome on them. It's what separates them form todays plastic cars!

I personally do not like the black rim craze going on right now, but would not call it "tacky"...more like "different strokes for different folks".

Have a great holiday weekend and may GOD continue to Bless AMERICA!!!

This is exactly the problem. This poor guy and myself are living the same nightmare. I have to remove my front wheels to put air in them, how stupid is that. These cars are built with functionality as a priority, so having to remove my wheels to air up does not fit my build goals.

Coys are out...
 

I like the way the look, but taking the wheels off the add air is a little crazy!!!

Don't use 13" brakes and 18" wheels or that's what you will have to do.

No, thats sounds like good engineering to me.:rofl:

Like I said look for used.

There are deals out there.
My Rushforts were off a 68 Chevelle. I have a 75 TA. Backspacing was perfect for my TA.

Made in USA they are!!! I've got the grey 338s for my GMC, same size you're looking for.
