Hey there,
I'm looking to buy some rims in the near future.. so far I love Boyd's Hot Rods but the price is crazy. I currently like the Intro V-Rod 5's or Boze Stingers.. designs along those lines.
The problem is I cannot find a retailer in British Columbia.. or even Canada for that matter. I am not far away from Spokane WA and I am willing to travel to make a purchase. Anyone know if there is a retailer around... I know there is some big chain stores in Spokane like Les Schwab and Discount Tire...
Thanks for any help!

just call them direct. your probably better off in the end. look up the wheels you want at some of the main wheel websites like sportruck, tirerack, etc. price compare on the size and style and then call them direct. usually they will work with you.
what size are you planning? american racing just came out with a single piece unit that is identical to the boze stinger but it only comes in 19 and 20".

well I was thinking 17 or 18" rims.. I'm not sure if 19" would look right. Would it have a larger outside diameter then stock tires..?
I looked at the 'new' section on americanracing*com but I don't see the rims your talking about Jeff.. got a link?

no they don't have them advertised yet. if you pick up some of the new primedia magazines they have them featured in their add on the new 05 mustangs.
as far as the dia. you should pick the right size you want. 19's would just need the right tire. stick to 17 or 18 then, cheaper anyhow.

Hey Kandied do you know what American Racing calls their new rim, or what model number it is?? I want to find out more about them but I'd like to have some information before I call...

not off hand, i'll have to track down the ad. it's their newest ad though with the 05 mustang. it only comes in 19 and 20" so i wouldn't think it would be to hard to describe to them. i'll see if i can't find it again.

Hey Jeff it looks like they've very recently updated their website and it looks as though the rims are now there. As you've stated, they are only avaliable in 19" and 20". For Corvette applications in 19" it lists;
rim size: 19x10
offset: +48
backside: 7 3/8
bolt circle: 5-4 3/4
rim size: 19x8.5
offset: +46
backside: 6 1/2
bolt circle: 5-4 3/4
Would these work on a third gen with adapters?? Which size adapters would be required, and what size tires would be needed to keep the overall outside diameter the proper size?

They got another new rim that looks decent called the Rebel which comes in sizes 17" and 18". It also has the correct bolt pattern for third gens...

Umm those are the GT5,Awesome in person. I have plead,begged and whined with our rep at work to get them to make me a set to fit my Camaro. No luck so far. Looks like Boze will get my money...
