I'm looking for a set of wheels for my 1967 Camaro, 19x11 rears and 19x8 fronts. I'm on a budget and was wondering if it is possible to get a nice wheel for under 3k. The Canadian dollar exchange rate is horrible. I have been trying to delay this for a while hoping that the rate changes but it's not much better.

My my ideal wheel would be a concave billet specialties but I do not think they make them in 11" and they are probably over my budget.


any suggestions would be appreciated

The problem here is the 11.0 requirement. Most 2-piece forged wheels only go to max 10.0 hoops, before getting into an expensive set of welded/fabricated hoops to make them wider. That 11.0 usually requires someone to move to a 3-piece construction.

I do have Forgestar F14 wheels that are rotary forged 1-piece, but those come in limited (custom) offset ranges for each wheel size. It depends on your specs, and possibly could be done using spacers if required.

Typical 1st gen Camaro:
8.0 w/ 5.125 backspacing = +16mm offset (w/ 245 tire)
10.0 w/ 5.75 backspacing = +6mm offset (w/ 275 tire)

If you pick a wheel with those offsets, example using 8.5 or 9.0 fronts, the tire still remains in the same centerline/position.

Forgestar F14
19x8.5 +26mm semi-concave (lowest possible offset) would require 10mm spacer to achieve +16mm offset.
19x10.0 +6mm super-deep concave works fine as-is, it is within available range.

These in 19" are priced at $1700/set plus shipping. Build time 6-8 weeks. Your choice of powdercoated color. Email me at [email protected] with your specs, and I will do the calcs and provide a quote.

We also have the newer CF5V model, which could be built in 19" with the specs above, and not require any spacers. Both offset ranges available, semi-concave front and super-deep rear. Same price as the F14.
