Default Wheels Finally! Need Help

I think my car has been on jackstands more in the last 6 years than on the ground, I have bought everything I can possibly buy, Engine, trans, chassis, electrical, interior, I guess I better order up some wheels. 69 Camaro mini tubs and Morrison chassis. 14" wilwoods up front and 13s in the rear. I was considering 18s to begin with and now I am thinking 19x10 front and 20x12 rear with maybe a 305,315 or 325. I am blown away at the price of some wheels. I am hoping to get into a set for 2500-3g. Is this possible or am I just being a tight azz!
Thanks Travis

On a camaro, I think 18" wheels look best. Anything larger will look out of proportion, imho. Plus as you found out, there's a big difference in price, both in wheels/tires. $2500-3000 will get you a decent set of 18".

Default Ordered Wheels,,

6 weeks and the new Rushforth Rated-x wheels should be rolling in. I appreciate the time some of the vendors gave me on the phone. I like the fact that when you call Jason Rushforth he answers the phone and returns your call. I will post up some pics when I get them.

Cant wait to see them. What size did you end up going with? I personally, like 19's on a 69 myself.

Great choice in wheels. I just got mine a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Plus Jason was awesome to deal with.
