Hopefully I will! By chance, do you remember the tire size, or overall height, (which is what I'm really interested in)? Maybe it is just me, but it seems like it is much harder to get the right visual appearance between the ground and rockers on the early cars. It seems like most any 17-18" wheel and tire package, looks high off the ground, unless the cars are tucking some serious tire.

I vote for forgeline wheels. They have a lot of options for cutomizing them to suit your tastes.

The wheels are 17x7 with a 225 45 17 (25" tall) and 18x8 with a 255 40 18 (26" tall) same tire profile and gives a 1" rake while keeping the wheel lip gap consistant, which these body styles need IMO.

thanx for all the responses i just got my rear end in and getting it narrowed so i can get a nice big lip in there. i have been talking to zak at boze and has worked an amazing price for me on any of the boze wheels i live the look of the pro touring wheel.
i like the formula wheels but alittle out of my price range.
fesler's are really nice also but more then i can spend

If you honestly like the Boze's...fine. By all means go with them as they do make nice wheels. But, if you are choosing them because they are the cheapest and you are sort of on the line about them, I advise you to save a little more, be patient and go with what you really want. Even if it means spending a bit more cash. Trust and believe you'll be happier in the long run. IMHO, I really like the Forgeline's.

Reread my post below again. I said if you like them, fine...as they do make nice wheels. I was just under the impression that you were leaning towards them because you made it seem like you liked them because they were cheaper. In my experience, buying stuff because it's cheaper always costs more money in the long run that's all. Boze makes damn fine wheel. but, everyone has a preference. Out of the choices many of us discussed in this post, I opted to root for Forgeline's. No, I'm not talking down on Boze wheels. To clear it up....they make a damn good wheel. I have even contemplated buying a set before. I was even in the same bout as you. The Boze's were cheaper. But, I knew I probably wouldn't be happy unless I got what I really wanted. Which were HRE's that costs me hell of alot more money. I would have loved to spend less money.

Take a look at these Forgeline's for sale and a killer deal too for a brand new set. https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...220#post437220

Bro, wheels and paint are two of the hardest choices to decide on in my opinion. I say this because color and wheel choice defines the car in such major ways. In many instances it can make or break a car. But nonetheless, you won't go wrong with any of the choices you have to choose from. I like the Boze Mesh wheel. It looks awesome on Mario's Camaro. Take a look at his build thread.....https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...=26298&page=76
