I thought about the Budniks but when I emailed Budniks and showed them the brake templates they told me 18" or larger rims were needed to clear my brakes Thanks for the suggestions thou

I'd consider 18s but the sidewall gets a bit thin on 18s for my taste, 17s look just right to me, in 245/45/17 and 335/35/17.

I would save a little longer before running any of those Boze wheels.

For me spending 4-5k on wheels doesn't suit me. I'd rather spend around 2k and use the other 3k to put into a transmission for me to rebuild. I guess it comes down to personal preference, like I could have gone with Wilwood 6 piston caliper brakes all around but chose what I thought was the most bang for the buck and went with a Touring Classics kit and was able to redo the front and rear suspension with the difference.

im a BIg fan of boze wheel , but dont like any of the ones you posted above nore do i think they will look good on a first gen... my favorite wheel from them is the pro-touring/mesh , but if you set of a 5 spoke style i would go with the speedstars or the stingers the velocitys are a 6 spoke but look awsome!!! on thier site there are some pics of some first gens.

I kind of like the Mesh/Pro-Touring look myself, but it kind of wrecks my sleeper idea.

Rushforth in 18x8 and 18x12 were nearly 4k ($3613).


I guess I am not seeing any difference in quality between the wheels in just pictures. Someone made a good suggestion that both Boze and Rushforth are local to me so going to see the wheels in person might help me decide (or least justify the cost difference if I see a big difference in quality).

Thanks for the suggestions
