Thumbs up Sneak preview...new Chevelle wheels arrived today!

Many,many thanks to Jon @ www.driverzinc for going above and beyond in what seemed like an impossible mission...but here they are:










These are Bonspeed Huntington's with dark grey p/coated centers and clear p/c on the lips.They are 18x9's/18x10's with Nitto N555's 275/35's and N555R 305/35 drag radials.Backspacing is 5.5" & 5.75".

As most of you know,Jon is fantastic to work with but for those looking for a great source for your wheels/tires and much more,you couldn't do any better then starting right there w/Driverzinc.

I plan to split early today from work and mount them up tonight...will post up some pics this wknd of them on the car.

those things look awesome. good job john and jon!!!


let me know how you like the drag radials on the street. from what ive read, they are the best tire around for traction. i just wonder about handling.

Default Few more...











Again...a BIG shout-out to Jon Henson @ www.driverzinc ...he hooked me up with the perfect b/spacing for this car...besides the great service,pricing,and well...just about everything you'd expect from a very painless wheel-buying experience.
I cannot recommend him more highly.

Wow, those really do look great! Nice choice.

Any plans for the wheels they replaced?
