Has anyone seen Foose Nitrous two piece wheels on a third gen?
I ordered them a little while ago, 18x8.5s front and 18x10 rear and was just wondering if anyone had pics or opinions.

JB22

definitely would like to see some pics when u get them on.

Look alot like boyds 1 model, cant remember, smoothie II ?

camarojustin

yeah, i guess they sorta do look like smoothie 11s
My car is going in for paint hopefully next week and the rims are in in 3 or 4 weeks, I will definately be posting pics when it's done

casebaseball205

should look sick.

them ****s look expensive

camarojustin

they came out to $3600cdn with falken rubber, taxes, install, gorilla locks and that's for custom offset rims so.....American racing Hopsters were gonna be like $2900 and they are polished not crome, why not go Foose.

That is really not that bad of a price for a set of custom offset foose wheels! Can't wait to see them, make sure to post lots of pictures!

I absolutely love these rims, they would look the ***** on a thirdgen!!! does anyone have pics? I want to put these on my car someone buy my Snypers.

rs_boy

Should look real nice man. Speaking of Foose wheels, is anyone running the Foose Speedster Blacks on their thirdgen?

Damn, where were those when i ordered my magnetos - i wanna see pics ...im jealous - i just dropped a lotta coin on my boyds but i think i like those more

purpleZ-28

yes, but cnsidering they are foose wheels, with tires, custom offset and backspacing (i assume) mounting and locks, thats damn good! and take into consideration that canadian (i think) will look more expensive, so 3600 might be more like, 3300? im not the guy to ask.
those will look WAY bad *** man! what color are you painting it?

Those look great and I would much rather support Chip than Boyd. Check on ebay for some great pricing.

camarojustin

I like foose way better than boyd too, lost alot of respect for him after watching his show. It would probably be around $3000 US actually
I am going to keep it red cause i don't wanna go through all the hastle of color changes but i will be adding some pearl to change the look a bit.
I wish i had more time to get it back together so i can get it to paint, I bought a whole new front end.....AGX shocks,eibach pro kit springs, ball joints, tie rods, bushings and wilwood 4 piston caliper brakes, it's ready to go back together but i can't spare much time, hopefully by next week

i got fooses on my car and the chrome finish is just amazing..even with layers of dirt they still shine better then my old american racing rims

BackInBlackGTA

those will definitely be sick, I think I missed in your original post that you said you already ordered them, I just jumped right to the pic of the rim! what backspacing / offset did you get???

camarojustin

hey laynlows, which rims did u get and do you have pics?
OOPS I lied about the width, I checked the bill to see what the offset was and my fronts are 18x8 not 8.5 but anyway they are 4 1/2 backspacing in the front and 5 3/4 backspacing rear which translates to 0mm offset in front and +6mm rear offset

purpleZ-28

yeah i like Foose, Boyd is an ******* if you ask me. but Foose has got some amazing designs. he also happens to have like, 7 riddler awards!

laynlowz

i got the lussos 18x8.5

Good luck on getting 10" to fit on the rear. That's pushing the limit on wheel width, without rubbing the inner fender.

camarojustin

Those look sweet laynlows, how much of a drop is that?
air ride?
Seems like lots of people have 10s on the back, don't really see why i can't

laynlowz

ya its air ride

camarojustin

I've been talking to 18inchboyds and he has 18x10s with 6"bs and he could have gone with 6.25, i think i'm gonna try and change my order to 6''bs.

KCobain147

I have 10" on the back - if you order the right bs it fits fine. No rubbing issues at all

camarojustin

why what do u have for backspacing?
I just switched my order to 6.25 on the rear and if i have to i'll use a quarter inch spacer or else a BFH

I too have a 10" wide rim on the rear with no rubbing issues... with 5.73bs

Im looking at gettin a set of fooses down the road all this input is helping me alot but one this is that i will be running a 4th gen rear with disk brakes so whatoffset would i need i know 6bs for 3rd gen rear and they will be 18" x 10 in te rear thanks!

camarojustin

I'm not possitive but i think with a 4th gen rear you just add 2"
so a 6" bs becomes an 8" bs

just remember with the 4th gen rear you are gonna have 2" less of lip on the wheel which will probably result in a deeper lip in the front than in the rear..

BigBoi4Lyph

Thanks alot just beforew you reply i was talking to 18ichboyd he had the same info. i have decided to go with a 3rd gen rear with disk because i like the deeper dish. plus with more power i will be running wont a shoter rear be a little stronger in terms of flex, well thanks guys!
