Re: wheel opinions...
Jeff, do you have anything in mind from their site? There are so many different syles to choose from. Would Boze let you trial fit a few different styles before you buy? How about taking a picture of your car and having them or someone photoshop them on your picture.

Your cars are gonna be like good(candie camaro) and evil(black with black wheels), thats gonna be badass.
Thats my 2 pennies,

Re: wheel opinions...
Just going by the the style of your cars, i like the pro touring, velocity for polished, and flyte or high octane for black centers. good luck with your pick.

Black all the way man..
You already have a bright eye catcher, the black on black would look pure evil and isnt't seen too often on thirdgens.

Re: wheel opinions...
i'm really leaning toward the pro touring in black with a 3.5" polished lip. blacked out windows and nice clean paint i think it would look really subtle but get the point.
however i'm just starting to draw some things up so it's all in the air. i'm not into the rivet look as i want it to look clean with the rest of the car and i already have the "classic 5 star" look with the stingers on my candy car.
just not sure so i thought i'd pick a few brains... appreciate all of the input definately.

Re: wheel opinions...
definately go with the pro touring wheels. it'll be different than you other car, and those mesh type wheels look really good on these type of cars.

Re: wheel opinions...
My personal preference is the "Speedster";

But if I really had to choose I'd go with this;

Re: wheel opinions...

Personally I would do a graphite black, or satin black with rivets on whatever wheel you choose. I think that would give it a racey look and be easier to keep clean (Brake dust shows badly on gloss black centers).

Re: wheel opinions...
I can't really picture the wheels on the car, but if you were to ask me what wheel I like overall, I would have to pick two, the "Speedster" and the "Maxx". Can't wait to see the car finished.

Re: wheel opinions...
Get some Pro Touring, black with the polished lip and dish, polished center cap with the camaro emblem engraved in with the classic red white and blue painted in. Definately get 18x7 for the front, and 18x10 for the rear. possibly 17s, but it's your call

Re: wheel opinions...
Someday when I can afford it (I'm a Boze dealer and still can't afford them
) I hope to get the Boost or the Stinger with graphite spokes. I really wish they had the Boost without the rivets, like a 5 spoke Velocity.

Re: wheel opinions...
Too bad you live so far from me. I called Boze directly for the Boost wheels 17x8 up front and 17x10in back, painted gloss black. They told me $1700. So I went to Discount Tire and they could get them for $1200. Do you get similar discounts or would it not be worth it to buy from you and have them shipped? $500 is a huge difference.

3-350 for a 17" rim is about average. 1700 for 4 is on the high side for 17's.
Re: wheel opinions...
they are trying to push the boost on me as well... you can't get them without the rivets huh? i'm not a fan of rivets at all myself.

I think the hi-octane (with rivets) or the stinger (without rivets) with a black center polished lip would look great.

Re: wheel opinions...
I always thought the stinger 6 would be cool. Stinger is the best lookin in my opinion. The 6-spoke kind of changes things up.

Re: wheel opinions...
unfortunately buying direct is never the best idea... sometimes it works but your rolling dice.
3-350 for a 17" rim is about average. 1700 for 4 is on the high side for 17's.
Where would one find boze or intro 17's for 3-350?

Re: wheel opinions...
Boze stinger
17x10=$520 each
17x8=$505 each
Intro Ram 5
17x10 and 17x8=$460 each
Too rich for me.....
Re: wheel opinions...
just do some research... you have to do alot more then call one or two stores but it will save you a few in the end. $400+ for a 17" is crazy from any company. no one pays that.

Re: wheel opinions...
That's why I'm here. I'm still looking. People talk about 300-350 for 17's for the nicer wheels, ie boze, intro but most of time it's like a big secret. I'd love to get them but I hit dead ends every time I call or search the web. That's why I end up settling for the "horrible" centerlines or something that I can get shipped with custom offset's for 300-330. I'm here to learn like everyone else.

Re: wheel opinions...
I hope they're not jacking their prices up because of the flooding of phone calls they're getting for wheels. I'll call again and ask how much for them direct. A couple months later, i'll go through Discount again. I don't see why I would have saved $500 but some of you would be spending $400 more. Maybe it depends on which wheels you get.
