ive decided on the colorado customs telluride billet wheels, 16x8, 4.75 backspacing. anyone know how much these wheels cost each? thanks

o and i was thinking 255/45, or 255/50 tires, which ones would u reccammend?

thanks

 

352 a piece from godfathercustoms.com. way too expensive in my opinion, i got 18" boyds for less than that. i don't think those would look very good on a camaro, either. my .02

wow, 352

little on the expensive side, anyway, do u have pics of your wheels?

and is the 4.75" backspacing good for an 8" wide wheel on our thirdgens?

thanks

 

4.75" might cause it to rub on the front struts. 4.5" would be better.

BTW I'll get you those pics you asked for sooner or later.

 

hey, take your time with the pics, im in no rush

yeah, i was looking at the american racing wheels, they have what i think is a perfect backspacing for an 8" wheel and it is 4.45". so 4.45" and 4.5" same thing

thanks for the replies

 

sure, i don't have them yet, they are on order. the pic is from the boyd coddington website.

oh, yeah, get at least 17s if you can afford them. they are the same price if you get boyds. they look much cooler. i think you can put 17x9.5 all around on a 3rd gen with 275/40s CHP mag said 5.5 bs on all 4.

for now, im going to go with 16s. ill switch later on when i get more cash, i have some sort of likeing for the colorado customs right now for some strange reason.

 

telluride's would look wayyy better in a bigger configuration than 16". IMO $350 a piece is a rip off becuase those rims are old as hell and kinda played out. I would check with other billet rim distributors besides godfathers.

 

i geuss your right, i might just save up and get 18x8 billet wheels not telluride. how low should i drop the car? i thought 2" drop spindles in the front and hotchkis springs in the rear. (my stereo should lower it in the rear a ittle more help please because im probably 100% wrong with the suspension crap i just typed

 

now that im looking through the godfather website, i like the rush style billet wheel and might just get that in 17", maybe 18. it all depends. i want billet for sure, but i dont think i have the money right now since i want to fix up this zz4 a little bit

 

So Sheet Outta Luck can convince you and I can't? j/k i looked at the rush style, and i gotta tell ya, they suck. i don't like any variation on the 3 spoke wheel. i think you can do a lot better than that if you look around. check out boyds, billet specialties, kmc, there are hundreds of wheel manufacturers. Sheet is right, those rims are old. i think all 3 spokes are old and played out. 5 spokes look the best on camaros like yours. just my opinion, though, it is your car.

yeah, the 3 spokes are pretty played out

ill look around fora while and decide on 17s or 18s, since spending so much on 16s arent worth it right now.

 

check out these colorados.

they cost 6500 for wheels and tires.
They are now for sale 5000, or for 500 less you can get the Chevy II in the background.
1967 Chevy II inline 6, good body, weld draglights.
Impala also for sale $25000.00
runs mid to low 11s. Not bad for a 4400 lb car.
First off you know your **** by choosing colorados, so guess the answer to your question is, if you can afford the best go with the best.
