Default Wheel recommendations? 70 Camaro

I have been trying to find some wheels for about $2,000 and have had no luck. I am probably going to go with Hugger Orange or Black for my car so I think black with a polished lip would complement the orange and just polished would go better with the black. I love TT2's but I want someone different, seems I might have to turn to those though because of the price.

I wouldn't even mind something used if anyone is selling anything.

Anyone have any opinions? Can't find any decent wheels. Looking for 18's..

I am in the same boat with my 73 and I am thinking I need to pony up the cash for some nice boze's, budniks, or rushforths...

what size do you want to run? 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20"? By how wide?

Give up a size idea and the forum can suggest. I am sure some of the wheel distributors can help you out as well...

18's. I am sure all of the distributors here are too rich for my blood though.

I don't know much about wheel width, but I was 295's to 315's in the back and 245s or so in the front.

I hear that Weld Racing has a new 18 inch wheel almost ready for the market. They offer a 17 inch now. The RT-S is the wheel series S71 is the design. Nice clean 5 spoke in a full polished wheel or a black anodized center with polished rims. You can see the design on their web site

I am in the same boat. I am looking in about the same price range but there's not alot in the range. I love the weld rts but I am sure they will be out of my price range also.

Check out Justin@driversinc's website at the bottom of his post. He has some good wheels for about $2100. I just wrecked my car today so I need to figure that out first.

The only thing I don't like is the 4-6 week wait.
