Those wheels are based on the Bonspeed Delta. I have them on my car. Pics in sig.

Seems like everyone loves these wheels. While you might not want to copy it exactly, Forgeline does have some other nice designs.

Thanks frank I will look at the forgeline now. I was just on the Bonspeed, intro wheels websites. I'm 41 and I have an old school eye for a wheel and it is hard to break down and get a 18"/19" combo. I like this also ---> http://www.chevyhiperformance.com/fe..._chevy_malibu/

2 totally different looks - comparing the delta/desmond wheel to the link. Some of the problem is also traction. I now have a 2001 Z06 with 520rwhp naturally asp and if I don't run a ET Street on the car and run my CCW's with 19" pirelli's the tires spin from here to Cali.

I'm a nut and rarely drive any of my cars under redline (lol) I love the "hair on fire" 7000 rpm shifts - what more is there to live for. So with that said I also need traction. I guess with so many drag radial sizes available I could always put them on too.

mmmm! what are you saying - you think that is too old of a look? Are we beyond that skinny/fattie look?

Nice car.


I have a custom set of 255/18 and 295/20 redlines for sale and am on Long Island also if you are interested. They are made from BFG Comp's with the sidewalls shaved and the redline fused in not painted new in wrapper. The 20's were one of the 1st set they did. Saw your redlines and thought there might be interest. Car sold before they were installed.


Actually I am not really into the big tire deal either but it is what sells right now. If you look into Perelli they re issued the Countach rear tire size which is a either 345 0r 335 15 which is 26' tall but super wide. Not a drag radial but great for handling. May have to massage those wheel houses a bit.


Also look into Oasis wheels they have a dead ringer for the old Hurst wheel but are one piece and the offsets and sizes are limited but are cheap and are 17's or 18's.

Good luck,

Hey Chris Have you looked into www.Bozeforged.com their protouring rim would look very cool as well as their Tach rim. They are a good bunch of guys over there, ask for Larry he will hook you up with what ever you need.

I definitely agree, Larry is a great guy. I just spoke with him yesterday, and it's nice when you get to talk to people like that on the phone.
