i got me new wheels today. i waited about a month for them and it was well worth the wait. they look awsome. they are boyd cottington smoothie II. i got 17X8 for the front and 17X10 in the back. ill probably get some rubber around them by the weekend so ill get better pics later. im not sure what size tire to run in the back. i was think somewhere around a 275/40R17 or 285/40R17. let me know what you think.

 

look at the lip on those! Sexy!!! I say 285s on back. Your car is going to look meaner than hell with them on there.

 

give us a sideshot wiht them on the car! I want to see it with sunset orange.

 

I'd run 285's...thats what I have on my 18x10 boyds....its fun with that much meat out back

....wheels look good, you're lucky as hell to get them in 4 weeks....mine took 12

 

AWESOME wheels

 

thank for the complements. as soon as i get some rubber on them i will be sure to post pics of the whole car.

 

TERRIBLE....HIDEOUS......UHHHHGGLYYY.











Now send them to me for propper disposal and we can put this matter behind us all.

 

Those are probably one of my favorite wheels, the car will look awesome with those

 

cant wait to see them on the car. sweet!

 

Very Nice. I like the lip.

 

Id think youd still be able to fit a 295 and have it look good?

Those are definently my most favorite rims there are...please post up some pics when they are on the car...cant wait to see them! Everything about your car is so perfect!

 

dang, those are nice...

 

I loves me the lippage

 

i spoke with my friend at lunch time and he ordered my tires today. they should have them by the weekend. so if the tires come in before the weekend we will go to his shop on sunday and mount and balance them. i went with a 245/45R17 in the front and a 285/40R17 in the rear. i cant wait to get them on the car.

 

*** thats gonna look awesome!

 

those look sweet, can't wait to see the stance of the car with those

 

nice fat lip

 

Those wheel are Awesome,

to bad Boyd is such a jerk

 

got the rims mounted yet?

 

ya no kidding, i liked there wheels but im betting after ppl seen the tv show his sales droppped. I would sooner buy from some other no nome retailer just for the fact hes a jerk, and his wife is a total b*tch too and he wonders why all his guys are going top work for Foose.

 

if people are going to sacrifice getting a finish and style of their wheels because the guy whose name appears on the center caps is a jerk on tv, they probably havent put too much thought into their wheels.
Ill admit that boyd is an ***, and charges alot for his wheels, but he makes alot of designs that are far from typical....which I think many will agree is why they chose to go with them


then again....to each their own

 

Those are reallllly nice rims. I like them on camaroguy18's ride too. What color is your car? Bah, forget it, just get those rims on and start snapping that camera of yours.

 

he has a sunset orange car.

 

Boyds wheels are generic, very old school styling that been around for many years. There are many other reputable companies that make these identical wheels, for example Intro wheels - do you see some simalarities in the designs. Of coarse there not completely identical im sure theres a copyright infringment law.
Im a shopper that basis buying products on many things, including warrenties, return policy, availablity, pricing, customer service, and of coarse how reputable is the company.
Don't be a compulsive shopper, its not like Boyd invented the wheel, theres no reason to throw your money at there over pricing.
Besides who really wants there center cap to have Boyds name in a red and white oval on there chrome/polished wheels
Boyd still makes a nice wheel, just wouldnt put it on my car.

just my .02 cents. cheers

 

i got the tires put on and they look awsome. its been to dark for me to get a pic of it when i get home from work. so this weekend ill snap some shots.

i really dont care about boyd beeing an *** or not. if he make a nice wheel he deserves to money. the wheels really werent that much. they were $1330.00 shipped. thats not to bad. i would have bought the wheels from any other company if they had that exact wheel. my center caps dont have the usual boyd cottington sticker on them. mine have the boyd cottington name engravend in them.

here are some teaser pics i just took for you guys. if its nice this weekend ill get some better ones. all of them are pics of the back except for the last one.

*** damn that car is just so freakin sexy...!

cant wait to see some lighted pics...

 

That's a 5.75 backspace?

Be sure to get some shot's from a little farther away from the rear. They look great!

 

yeah thats 5.75bs in the rear

 

my grandfather has those on his 1966 buick riviera GS they look so awesome. i always thought they would look sweet on my car b/c of the sharp lines the wheel has but i didnt want to copy him with the wheels b/c he paid alot for em and he's super proud of them.
