I am looking for new rims for my Project Z and have found three sets of Boyd's rims that I fell in love with but cant really decide which style would look best.

The Septors would be different. Maybe great on a camaro, but I think the Rodders fit the TA better.

by far, I like the Rodders best, and so far those who have voted seem to agree with me. The others are a little too exotic for an f-body (or any car, in my opinion). Your T/A is great, so I have high expectations for your IROC project

That's what I'm sayin'.

Those wheels are tight. Those other two wheels are too common. More of a "Oh look. Another T/A with wheels."

The Harm wheels say "DAAAAMMMNNNN!!! Did you see those WHEELS?"



Harm wheels 100%!!!!

OK.

By spring you better start finding some parts and throwin it together thats a very short time to get some quality work done unless you have like 3 professionals working on it. Well guess it also depends on how far you are going to go.

Ahh im just use to the restoration business my dad owns one. They have 2 guys and it usually takes about a year but could take less if they would not slow them down getting parts. That is putting it on a jig and everything though. I still think my car will take awhile just cause all the parts i want are hard to find.

The harm's have that deep dish look .. but that little fin in the center , uhh ...

the septors look nice too ..

Honnestly, to me, none are that appealing ...



but its your pic, the harm's look best out of all 3.

I agree that they look mean...

i liked all three sets of wheels for different reasons but i guess its going to take some time before i really decide what style i like the best...thank you everyone for your opinions...it helped to see what everyone liked.

I voted for the Rodders becuase they are the smoothest. If the Harm's were 5 spoke (minus the spikes) I would have voted for them.
