Unique Custom wheel options

Ok guys,
So i am finishing up my motor build and next on the list is suspension and new 18" wheels. I want to get some wheels that are clean looking and fit correctly. I currently have a set of 18" and 19" staggered C6 vette replicas that are 11.5" wide in the rear. My new motor will be producing in the neighborhood of 550HP or more and i am concerned with running spacers on my car with that much power and most likely drag radials.

So i have been looking at wheel with a very deep lip on the rear in 1 of two styles, Either a mesh wheel with a lip like the Bozeforged Pro touring or even Like rotiform BLQs, or a simple spoked wheel with a deep lip.

I see alot of people on here running vette replicas(including me) and irocs but who has custom wheels that are clean and really show off the car?
Google and facebook groups only return limited wheel options.
Please post pics and specs if possible!!!

I have a set of Boze Pro Touring wheels on order and should be here in a couple weeks. I will post pics when they are installed.

Re: Unique Custom wheel options

What size and Offset did you get? Do u have a stock rear end?
How much did they end up running you? I wanted to get the Pro Touring wheel with a black face and a deep chrome lip and a Thirdgen logo on the center cap in red. Thanks in advance for any info/ help

I'd stay away from Rotiforms. I've had friends who spent over $6,000 on a set only to have them bent out of the box. I'm thinking of Weld RTS in 18, but I'd love a set of ACS Type 1s.

The Weld RTS are really nice looking but they make the car look really fast and i want to surprise people at how fast it is and not give it away.

I ordered them a month ago and don't remember exact offsets. 18x9 front and 18x10 rear. Stock rear end. Top secret finish so will post pics when installed.
