Since the upcoming Super Chevy show is 100 treads. I'll likely start with option 1 and take it from there. I'd like to stay with the same widths so my alignment doesn't change between wheels.

Now your talkin'!! I was thinking about those wheels also. Cant beat it for the price. The only thing holding me back is the weight of the wheels, 25 lbs. Probably not too bad for the autocross gig but maybe a bit heavy for road race. The wheels I've got my eye on are $1300 a pop. Their 18x10.5's are 18 lbs. Gibson Wheels makes them. I'll make a decision depending on what I sell that other '69 I picked up for. Reality is my pocket book makes the decisions when it comes to my car.
