www.boydcoddington.com would probably be a good place to start.

Check e-bay too, they've got everything you never wanted on there.

i used sport truck way better pricing than boyd.....be ready for the wait it takes time to make them... each order is custom made to your spec so it take a month or so to get em. but worth the wait.

I think most of us on thirdgen.org that have boyd wheels have gone through sportruck.....prices are pretty competitive with other companies that offer the boyd 'wheel packages', but sportruck has excellent customer service, and even used a photo of Graboids car to help show me how my wheels would look (which comforted me in knowing that they have dealt with thirdgens)

5.75 on the rear 4.5 on the front. i also had to find the right lugs. the ones that i had on the car needed a 13/16th socket. with these boyds you can only fit a 3/4 so i got mcguard tuff lugs and lock set.1.5 12 mm conical seat with closed end

i also went through sportruck.com and it took about 11 weeks to get them , i think i ordered them in late may or early june which is the buisy time . 18x8 with 4.5 and 18x9.5 with 5.5 , i wish i would went with 5 inches bs on the front since i did the vette brakes, and also the stock bs for the front is 4.75 so thats another thing to think about .
