Coys vs. Boss 338-(67 Impala Fastback)

[ma73z]

I have to say I have had nothing but good luck with Coys, I do agree with the placement of the valve stem can be a pita but putting in a flush one helps, overall we have been very happy with them and their customer service we have them installed on three of our cars and love them.

I have had 3 sets of coys and 0 problems, i personally think they look better. the lip section makes them look wider than they actually are. when i had 20x8.5s on my camaro, poeple would always ask how wide they were, and when i told them they would be suprised.

Do what I did. I purchased a used set of Rushfoth's with Nitto 555's. 285/40/18 aon 18x10 and 245/40/18 on 18x8. $2200 with shipping. I have seen some killer deals out there. Be patient and watch for the killer deal and jump on it. Look at some of the older for sale adds. If the rims are still available the owner may be more inclined to deal.

Have you looked at Raceline wheels? Maybe they're in your budget.

It's placed directly in line with the rotor,so you have to use the flat valve stems with disc brakes. These valve stems require a special inflation tool and are notorious for leaking. I can tell you from personal experience with 13" brakes and 18" wheels that you have to remove the wheel to put air in the tire because the inflation tool is to long to get a tire chuck between it and the rotor.

Whenever i see chrome wheels, I just think "China".
To me they look super tacky and theres nothing worse then a Amercian car with China wheels.


I do understand you budget but with the right leads you never have to settle for those.
I once owed coys c-57's and I was never happy with them. Back spacing was horrible, chrome was peeling, machine work shotey, and customer service was trash.


Sometimes the cheapest way is the most expensive.
Why buy wheels now that later down the line your going to want to sell, take a hit on selling them and then buy the rite wheel for a little more.



Here is a company that sells 2 piece wheels that has around the same pricing a the china..

This is exactly the problem. This poor guy and myself are living the same nightmare. I have to remove my front wheels to put air in them, how stupid is that. These cars are built with functionality as a priority, so having to remove my wheels to air up does not fit my build goals.
