Default New gen Wheels ??

Has anyone seen or purchased a set of New Gen wheels? They have a modern minilite looking wheel with a more modern look? Driver inc carries them and want some of the pro's feed back from the site.

Default 3pc

Now if I have a 68 Camaro with stock tubs and wanted to run 9" wheels in the rear what back spacing would I need ? i plan to drive it on alot of windy roads I don't want any rubbing . I plan to run a 275 17 " or 18" depending on price differences and style in the 9 inch rears. What about the Fronts you guys mentioned 8's are ok up front and I want lock-to-lock what about back spacing in the fronts?? Only reason is so many guys have different set-ups. I have the stock a-arms right now and stock discs in front.

if you are going with a 3-piece get a 18x9.5 with a 5.5 backspace. At least that is what I've learned from these forums.

Default wheels

Alot of people use 9.5 but I plan to use it alot on my canyon roads and maybe take some family trips and nothing is worse than a tire rubbing when you go through a dip or a turn. That is why I want to make sure prior to purchasing them.....
