Ok i really would like to get 18's int he back and 17's in the front. they have to be at least 9.5 wide. I know I will loose some off the line power witht he bigger rim. But thats ok. Just to look nice. What kind of rims in the $1,500-$2,000 price range would look killer on my car. If ya can put em on the car and let me see how they look. I was thinking of going with the tt2's but they don't make 18's. Help a brother out. This is also going to be a show car and a track car. I will ahve different rims for the track of course.

 

Heres my suggestion :

 

Where those rims from I'm kind of feeling them. A website with prices or anything?

 

those are boyd cottington timless 5's, I am thinking of getting those for my 87 z-28

 

is there a website I tried finding one and couldn't damn yahoo.

 

i think its boyd cottington.com but just to be safe go to google.com and type in timless 5 and the first one will be the boyd cottington website.

 

Your car looks nice. Did you just have it painted?? If so, I was just wandering about how much it ran you. I will be gettin mine painted in a while and was just tryin to get some kind of idea about price. Have you though about the dipped iroc rims?? What do ya think of these

 

Here are some more good looking rims

 

how about these ones?

 

If you like any of the rims I have posted here is a web site you can go to www.performancewheeloutlet.com and get the prices.

 

check this out. what do ya think of these????

 

Yea I had the car painted last November. It is really dirty in the picture and needs to be wet sanded and compounded and polished. No wax on that car at all in the pic. I need the rims to be wider. I would love some wider Irco rims in chrome. but I havent found them. The paint it self would of cost me about $1,500 because of the 12 color Camelion color and the Custom House of Kolors Red. But it didn't cost me anything to have the car painted or the paint for that matter. It was a X-mas gift from my pops. He does body work. But something like that all custom in a reasonable shop goes for about $5,000-$6,000. Thats including engine bay and door jams and everything else. I am having the front of the nose redone cause some dick hit the car when it was parked. anything else i might be able to help with? Thanks for the rims. Need more though i need the car to stand out.

 

I'm a fan of those as well.

 

I really like the Boyd Cottington Stingray rims How about 17X11 in the back and 17X9.5 in the front or 18X9.5 int he back and 17X9.5 in the front what do you guys think?

 

wish I could see what these would look like on the car

 

Those kind of look like the Torque Thruster 2's I am thinking about getting them in 17X9.5 all around.

I like the way they look.

 

Those are Billtet Specialties Talladegas, they look nothing Like TT2's

 

Ok they there not a similar as i thaught. If they werent flat they would look damn like them though.

 

Wasnt tryin to come across *** an ******* just I see those on custom trucks a lot so I'm familiar with them. They are machined on the spokes too, so it has like 5 or 6 lines coming down on each one.

 

If I were you, Id go with the ZR1 rims, they look so good on thirdgen camaros.

 

I saw those on an s-10. I was VERY disapointed.

 

like mine?

 

Those look f'n bad @$$. I would love to have a set of those.

 

i like those time timeless rims

 

TT2's ARE available in 18's. It's what I plan to get on my car. For some reason though they don't list them on their website anymore.

Also, I've seen them with my own eyes on a Iroc, 18X9 all around and they look killer.

 

www.salesco.com for those boyds i linked $285 each for the 17x9.5

 

if I remember, Boyd's wanted $1100 for 17x9.5 and 17x11 so that sounds about right.


these are my new favortie rims. 18" is the smallest hight.

 

hey dan are those 275/40/17's just curious

 

Im a fan of ROH Snypers and ROH ZS wheels.

 

I still have to say that the FIKSE FM/5's are the way to go but I guess thats personal preference.

only if you have deep pockets, $600 a wheel is a bit much for me

 

bad *** fiske's

:hail:

 

daaaaaaamn.. :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

Very nice!

 

Thank you very much

 

BTW, whats the Fiske website? and how much did them bastards cost you?

 

twiztidz28 im hearing ya about wanting some rims that will make your car stick out, but dont get anything to ghetto or bling blinging or whatever........................

 

Ok here is another question. What kind of backspacing would i need for the Boyd Coddingtons Stingrays in 17X11 in the back and 17X9.5 in the front. Or the TT2's in 18X9.5 in the back and 17X9.5 in the front. So far it is between one of those 2. I like the ZR1 rims but I have seen to many cars with them. I tried getting my friend with a 99 Hardtop C5 get those for just a different set of rims. I really need help with backspacing on rims. And should I wait till my suspension work is done before I get them so they won't rub on anything? Any help with this would be great. OH AND SORRY ABOUT THE TOPIC BAS *** RIMS. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING, THEY MAKE THE LETTERS TO CLOSE TOGETHER.

Personally, I'm still a big fan of the HRE 545s myself.

 

I like those rims to but they are way to expensive for me right now. I rather spend the $3,500 on another project car then put that towards rims. Or even put that in my 88 TBI, Soon to be a 355 Carbed 5 speed.

 

91ram air,yes 275/4017's and 315/35/17's rear

 

IROCDAN your car is sweeeet :rockon:

 

everyones' gramma and parapalegic drunkle has the Timless 5's
or TT2's.....i'de rather have one of these:
ColoradoCustom- "Empire" <img src="http://www.coloradocustom.com/images/wheels/Rs_gt/EMPIRE.jpg">
"Whiskey"
<img src="http://www.coloradocustom.com/images/wheels/SS_rwd_large/WISKEY.jpg">

(no offense to the guys with the timless5's or TT2's)

I have the AC wheels on my replica cobra and absolutely love them. I think that either of them would look great on a thirdgen. I really like the Weld rodlites, but they only come in 15". I may just get the ETs (which look similar to rodlites) for my Formula.

 

how about mine, stock and grimey

 

Wow, someone likes something other than a 5 spoke design.

 

Hey redraif, put up a pic of your car w/ your rims you have, i LOVE those. I wish they still made em. I'm not big on rims really, but I would love to have yours. Also love the rest of your car redraif, it's T-I-T tight.

 

Thanks!

Well, granted these aren't the popular choice around these parts, but since you asked:

 

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...........those are beautiful. What did you say they were again? I tryed to go to your site, but the maintainance thing is goin on again . Once again, I love the car. By the way, how did you come up w/ the idea of the upside down spoiler on the front and back? That is ingenious.

 

Niche Serpents! They discontinued them about 6mo before I got them. Niche does not keep rim styles long. I guess thats good if you want to be more original, but bad if you mess up a rim.

I wish I could figure out why they do maintainance so often. Late afternoon till 7-7:30 Eastern time. I was originally going to go with yahoo, but had all kind of problems getting the pictures up there. Oh well, its a trade off I guess.

The spoilers... well, I was just sitting there looking at the car and wondering what I could do to update the gfx. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. I did some measuring and looked at how the underside was made. The design of the supports...the angles were just right to give a smooth transition between the 2. So off to the junkyard I went and liberated a spoiler off a soon to be crushed bird. After the rear was such a hit. I had to do the front piece.
