18 KWC Wheels 18X10 6.5 BS

Here are pictures of the KWC wheels, 18X10 6.5 bs with 295 35 18's. Ive posted them on my 1990 Iroc Convertible build thread and wanted to share here on the wheel section. I like the rim look, width, but I think 20's would look better. Maybe when I lower the car they'll look better to me.

The rims don't hit anywhere, close to the bump stop but it doesn't hit.

Just looked the price of these wheels. Did you pay less than 460 a wheel? Fitment looks perfect on them.

"What size are you going with for the front, and what wheel model is that? Do you you have ls front brakes?"

I'm thinking 18x8's, only other option to me is 18x8.5. The wheel model is the 027's. I have the complete LS1 conversion kit so the back spacing will go from 4.5 to 4.75,,, I think.

I just Google kwc wheels and clicked on the first link. I didn't pick a wheel size or any options. When I saw the starting price of 460 a wheel I knew they were expensive.

Oh, ok. Yeah not cheap. They took over three months to make and deliver was the only draw back. I bought them at a local shop. On eBay, they're advertised as 6 to 8 week delivery. I might go through eBay when I buy the fronts. They can make any size and offset you want.

Re: 18 KWC Wheels 18X10 6.5 BS

Thanks,, ill post as I continue the progress. I bought a 9 bolt posi rear end (3.42's I think. I have to recheck that) with disc brakes. I want to install 3.70 gears before swapping out the rear ends. I already have the lowered springs, shocks/struts, complete polyurethane bushing kit, adj panhard bar and rear lower control arms. U can see more of the car build pictures in my Iroc convertible build thread.

Thanks again

Yes just painted to the original color. I'll send you a picture of the sticker in my center console, I don't know which one is the code for color. I sent it to the paint shop and they took care of it. I don't know how many coats of clear either.
