Love those wheels John! They look killer on the Chevelle. Im going to get a set for my 1972 Z/28. They look kind of like a stylized SS/Z/28 wheel of that vintage! Great choice, they look great on your car. Do they make a 18x12 Huntington wheel like that? Tony

Are these wheels available in 18x12s for the rear? I want some gorilla 335s on back, also what are the available B.S. for awheel that large? Man! A set of those would look great on my Z. Love em! Tony
Thanks guys for all the nice compliments,I am totally happy with the fitment and the look.They are like a modernized version of what I had (AR CL205's) and yes,they fit the theme of what I try to do to all my cars to a T!

Since they're custom made Tony,you can have them in any width you desire but anything over a stock 10" wide width...which these are...will cost you to have them widened.Contact Jon Henson @ www.driverzinc.com for some great advice & pricing.I was originally going with 335/30's on an 11" wide wheel but shelved that because I thought it would be too tight...and it would have been very tight.Here's a picture of the mockup w/the 335's:




I agree they would have looked sick but I would have to have nailed it dead nuts to pull it off...and I don't think I'm that good.

Default Sweet, Sweet, Sweet...

Did I say it looks SWEET? Great pictures John, and I'm happy that you are happy, and that the end result came out perfect. Thanks for the biz, I'm just happy to help a fellow enthusiast achieve the look he was going for, and to be a part of your car.

Thumbs up

I'll apply my driverzinc sticker proudly Jon...to say I'm happy with the wheels and the service is a huge understatement

Send me a few license plate frames if you got any laying around and I'll rock those too.

I sold the AR CL205's (18's/20's) to a guy over on the Chevelle boards but I'm really not much of a seller.
I'm good at buying though...

Hey John, were the 335s Nittos? I like the tread on them. Your right tho it does look very close to that fender, but man it looks sweet with that much tire under there. I wouldnt have any problems though as my car has been tubbed. Talked to Jon, and said there was a little difficulty in gettig them ordered as you wanted them. They look great and fit well, and pull off a factoy custom appearance. Tony
