Default Looking for some new shoes!

Hey everyone, I am looking for some new rims for my 67 camaro. I have to have a company that can make custom back spacing. I really like the look of the AR torque trust II, but kind of want something diff. I want a 5 spoke rim, but not sure if I want 17" or 18", Chrome or Polished. What do you guys think would look the best????

If anyone knows a few companies that I could look at the style of rims they offer with custom back spacing that would be great.

Thanks guys!

-Brian

That's like asking 200 people to help you pick an ice cream flavor. Get ready for an overload but I'd echo what Paul said. Budnik also is a Lat-g supporter which should sway you and as for diameters, I vote 18s and 19s

Like Jason said, it's a pretty wide open subject, but I'd do a 5 spoke, polished 18" wheel.

That really narrows it down!

I've always really liked Intro wheels:

The Vista line would look killer 18x9.5 rear & 18x8 fronts

Chrome them. I hate aluminum wheels! Seems by the time I get done buffing them I have to start buffing again!

Maybe a non driven show car would be easier.

HRE
XcYZ(runs 547's), Datsbad(runs 843's), Myself(running 542R), and a few others have these rims. The styling is amazing, the finish options are plentiful, and the way they look on a car is jaw dropping.
I'm a dealer, so if you see a set you like, I can get you a price.
