Wheel search
 

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I've just purchased my first project car. It's a 69 Firebird and I'm looking for some killer wheels for it. I want an 18" five spoke Fikse style brushed or powter coated wheel that's not insanely expensive. Any thoughts?

thanks

I have the polished tork thrust 2's on my 69 firebird, they look awsome.. 17/8 front and 17/9.5 on the rear. Great look for the price... besides you could always have the centers powder coated.

I'm sure we can help you out on a wheel choice. What kind of budget do you have for wheels

here is a killer deal i saw at ls1tech-Chris

will those wheels fit my car? will I need to roll my fender lips?

my budget is about 2k total for wheels and tires

oops- ya that's probably too wide of wheel for stock openings, I would check out old threads about getting the right backspacing and tire size- somebody on this board has to have something for you-Chris

I think Budnik Laterals fit the bill...but you are going to be hard pressed to do 18" tires and wheels for 2k. Do you have plans to mini-tub the car?

Here's an option for you, that won't break the bank.. 18x7 and 18x8 TorqLite's by American Racing. I can do wheels and tires for way less than your budget. (Like 500 dollars less!) What do you think?

Another option might be the Steet Smart Line from Billet Specialties:

These run about 1500 for the wheels, and with tires, we can get you damn close to, or just under your 2k budget for 18's. Let us know...

those Billet Specialties are really nice. How wide can I get by with on the rear?
