Another Boyd Rim (Bandit)
How can I tell if this rim fits my car? It remids me of the Bandit rims.
I think it would look killer on my black GTA.

wow those look great , they would look sick on a 2nd gen with honeycomb wheels. Do you have a link to boyd page . But if they are new wheels yuo wnna buy you can do anything . But if their allready made you need to know the bolt pattern and the backspacing.

Boyd custom makes their rims to your specifications, so prices will vary depending on how big, and how wide you want them

you know what would be cheaper by a little . Getting the tuned wheels by boyd ,t he ones like crazyhawaiian has. And then having them powdercoated or painted in the middle like those .

thanks but be warned they hit my rims , i had to use a 5/16 inch spacer to space it out .The other thing i could done it like the guy with the red camaro with tt2's in a foreign country is to grind down where it hit on the caliper . But they are deffy worth it . They are so much safer and look better . But they are so great casue they work so well.

i will answer for him since i have the same set up . All of boyds wheels are custom made to order. We both dont have spacers on the car . Thats why custom rims cost more because they make them to the specs you want . Both me and him have 18x9.5 in the rear with 5.5 inches of backspacing and the fronts are 18x9 with 4.5 inches bs .

Those rims on an 81 Trans Am I used to own. Would look pretty cool if my bird was black.

I definately think those would look bad *** on a thirdgen of the right color, black, dark blue, maroon.
2500 really isnt that bad though, the Boze's i'm going to get are a hair higher in price

just remember though, the prices we're listing are for the rims, tires, lugs, valve stems, mounted and balanced........makes the whole thing not so bad when you look at it

exactly, do it once and do it right....after I got that perspective in my mind, the price wasnt as outragous.
