Default Ridler 695 Wheels for a 72 Chevelle

Found these wheels while searching across the internet for an affordable alternative to 3 piece custom wheels. Had a couple of questions and was hoping for some answers from some knowledgeable people.

First do any vendors on here sell this wheel and if so at what price? Second, my car (72 Chevelle) is currently running 8" fronts and 10" rears and would like to stick with that, but the wheel is only offered in 18x9.5" is it possible to get an 18x10" wheel from anywhere? Finally, is it possible to buy wheels completely unfinished/raw to custom paint?

Here's my car:



Here's the wheel:

Decent looking wheel as far as cast wheels go. The 9.5" width is dictated by one-piece hoop availability (or something like that...). To get a 10" wheel you'll have to go with a multi-piece wheel, which will cost you more

Thanks that's what I thought as far as width goes. Believe me if I could afford 3 piece wheels I would buy them in a second.

I agree for being 1 piece wheels they are really nice. If you decide to go with them post pics when you get them. After much thought and several photoshops I think I'm going to go with the Black Boss 338 Wheels. Now I just need to figure out which wheels to buy.



The chrome and gloss black just look so much better with my car than the matte black and grey ridler wheel.

Funny, I had never heard of these wheels until my friend bought them this week. He got them in today and I mounted them for him. ere they are in 17x9.5:




They are wearing 275/40/17 Nitto NT05 tires and they fit perfectly. He is putting them on his 1992 Camaro that is black, so it should look good great! Ill get some pictures of them on his car this weekend at that NMCA autocross event!

The wheels is a very nice quality overall, and I think the finish is very nice! They are one piece cast, and made in china, and the price definitely reflects that. I know that he bought the wheels for less than $150 ea and the tires were around the same. $1200 for 4 wheels and tires is very manageable!

They look to be made by the same manufacturer that made my summit wheels, as they have the same casting marks behind the spoke:
