'66 nova project

Nice build you have going there, but I'd pass on those rims. I don't think you will like that smaller inner section and how it looks on your car.

The "Classics" that they make, I believe, will clear brakes if you are going to stay with the ones pictured and have the same look. If you go with a big brake package like Wilwood, etc, the Classics will not work either.

I talked to John there are few days ago and he said the 18's will clear. He said these wheels fit on the c6 cars so brake clearance would be the same on mine.

The only other 18's I found that are in my budget, that I think would work on the car are vintage wheel works v40. I haven't found many companies that make 18x9.5 and 18x11

Not sure if you have seen these or like the style, but I think they are about $1400 a set made to your specs and color.

Wish I would have considered these when I bought wheels for my car... http://www.team3wheels.com/lt_iii.html

I dig your plans though

These are cool, but I really wanted the 3 piece wheels. 1400 is a bargain!

Thanks, I am not sure these will fit the look I am after.

I will definitely start a thread Kevin , if my car was as sound as yours looks, I would go clip and connectors as well.
I'll check out the DSE unit thanks
Have fun building !!!

Well, I bucked up and placed an order for the dse quadralink, mini tubs, subframe connectors and their ford 9" housing with axles. They told me the front end is about 2-3 weeks out. Really looking forward to starting this build but the wife is seeing how much money I've dropped already this year is is starting to get nervous already.

those are my go- to wheel if my car budget doesnt work out quite right, yeah I said budget

Team III is close to me and offers a lot of custom machining to help brakes fit, etc. so that makes them attractive for a "budget" wheel.

Damn, now I like those too!....





Pickup up a cheapo sandblaster from tractor supply today, here's the progress.

Before and after: Cell phone pics, too dirty to get the good camera out.
