Looking for suggestions on 18" wheels
 
I'm looking for a new set of 18" wheels. I like race-oriented styling and I'm not that crazy about full-polished wheels. The wheels must look good on both my '69 Z28 and my '87 Z28 (same offset works on both). The '69 is white with black stripes and the '87 is flame red metallic. Any suggestions on what might look good in terms of style and color?



Here are the cars...

I love those Mini-Lites and the shoes on the 87 look good too but not exactly interchangable.

I'm pretty partial but most of the designs in my line www.RushforthWheels.com would work like a champ with satin centers and polished hoops.

Love that Minilight look man...but I can understand you wanting a different look to change it up a bit.:yes:

id call jon at driverzinc and get yourself a set of rushforths. those guys know what they are doing and they have great prices and even better designs. get them with the 3 piece hardware and brushed. they will look way over the top.

Rusty is working on 18" version of the Vintage Wheel Works line... and his "V48" might just do the deed:

On the late model... I personally like Fikse Profile 10's.

I really like the Fikse Profile 10's and the similar Forgeline WC3R's. But they've gotta look good on the '69 too because I can't spend 5 grand on wheels for an '87 IROC. : )

I like the V48's and I'm excited to hear they're coming out with some 18's. The ridge on the wheel center is the only drawback with that design.

Anthony, those look great on your '68. What size/backspace are the wheels and tires?
