Wheel ideas for 66 Nova - Lateral-g Forums

Sinco · #1 02-24-2005, 10:26 AM

Anybody have input on what wheels would look good on a 66 Nova with the pro touring theme. I'm going to be running an 18 in the front and a 19 in the back. The cars ride height should be between 4 1/2 and 5 inches. This will make the wheels tuck up inside pretty good.

Are thinking of a billet wheel or forged?

I'm not exactly sure what the difference is. I have been looking at HRE, Fikse, Kinesis, iforged and Budnik. One thing about Budnik is that they are very close to me and I can order direct and get them in 3 weeks.

The problem is there is not alot of Novas done in the pro touring style. So there aren't to many samples floating around out there.

I know a couple of wheel types you won't want to go with: The HRE 543's or the Kinesis K18's or the Forgeline SX3's....

Ryan I'm a little confused. Are you recommending these above wheels? If so which ones are you suggesting to stay away from?

Sinco, you have a PM.

Sinco,
If you are located close to Budnik, there is a distinct advantage to considering this option. You can bring your car there and let the "stick" it. Whereas they will measure width and backspacing precisely to your vehicle.

Yea I'm close to Budnik but the car is now in Washington at Wayne Due's shop. I will get the tires and wheels for Wayne so he can have them for mock up. I'm thinking 8x18 in front with close to a zero offset and a 10x19 out back with a 4 to 5 inch backspacing. I like the 5 spoke Fikse or the 6 spoke iforged but still haven't decided.
