Is anyone out there running these wheels? I'd like to see what the 18s look like on a car. Also can anyone recommend some 18" wheels, with a lot backspacing/width options, that aren't too expensive? I don't have the money to drop 4 grand or so on a set of wheels lol. Thanks.

$600 a wheel for a design that's been out for ever...

Keep shopping around.

Here's a site with some good choices, and prices;

Chris Jacobs has the S71's on his '66 Chevelle. They look awesome.

Yeah i know, not really my favorite design out there but I've been searching around for a while and those have been the cheapest I've found with the right sizes. I'm looking for 18X11 with about 6.5" of backspacing in the rear and 18X9.5" -18X10 for the front, not too sure on the backspacing yet though need to take some more measurements. Car is an 82 Z28.

We sold a set of 18x10s and 18x12s to a customer building a 69 camaro in all polished. Its a very traditional, old school looking 5 spoke, but some guys like that! Can't go wrong with it, I'll say that, and the quality of the build, and the polish was top notch. Customers car is in the project stages, so it'll be awhile before we see photos.

IIRC, there were some fitment challenges with Chris' Chevelle due to the inside step? You might want to ask him. I could be totally wrong.

Awesome, i'd love to see a picture of them on a car like mine but I can't seem to find any. Would you be able to give me a price on a set of these wheels? 18x11s and 18x9.5 or 10s.
