Is the windshield really flush mounted? If so, how did you do it? I want to do the same.

Valencias? I was considering going with those, but love the Tremblants more (plus the offset worked better for me). I rattle-canned the centers.

What size did you get? What size tires also?

Bought those for my Elco and stuck a carbon fiber vinyl inside the centers.

Bought the TSW Amaroo for the Chevelle, did the same to the centers.

Dang the Amaroo Looks GooD! I got 18x9.5 with a 20mm offset all around no spacers needed. Im running a 275/40 Falken. And I am now a dealer for TSW and all 9 of their wheel brands. So If you need anything let me know!

The Valancia's were first intended for the Chevelle, but at 9.5 wide they looked small. So I put them on the Elco and got the Amaroo's in 8.5 and 10.5. If I would have known this was going to happen I would have bought 285/40 and 245/40 for the Elco. I think the 295/45 and 255/45 looks too big.

well they look good on both cars! Ya I wanted a wider wheel for the rear but these will have to do for the street. I have a track set up for when I want to go wide!

look good.. ever able to get that quote?

thanks

I thought I pm you back saying they don't make you offset in the amaroo. They make a 40 and 50mm offset. You would have to run at least 2'' spacers.

408maro

04-24-2015, 01:26 PM

That's what I thought as I was told that before. Not even the valencia would work? Either way I appreciate you looking. The wheels looks great on your car

Looks GREAT! I'm planning to run an 18x9.5 wheel with a 275/35 tire on my '74 Nova and it seems as if you have done the hard work for me!
Would you mind PM'ing me a quote for that size wheel in the Valencia like yours and the Amaroo? I noticed you said the Amaroo is only 40mm or 50mm offset and your Valencias are 20mm.....so I'd need a 3/4" spacer with the 40mm Amaroo?
Also, do they offer the Valencia with black fasteners?
By the way, what front suspension are you running and how much lower than stock are you? Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks!
