Best priced Protouring wheels

[Dan Shook]

I have a 69 Camaro I am working on and I am trying to land on what wheels I am going to go with. I know the Forgelines are awesome wheels and probably the best on the market but I am looking for something as reasonably priced (if there is such a thing) as possible. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am looking to do a 18 inch diameter, with a 9.5 to 10 wide on the front and a 12 to 11.5 inch on the rear. Are there any decent wheels out there without breaking the bank? Thanks

You probably need to specify a price range since we all have a different idea of what is reasonably priced.

Or a design style you like

[Tomswheels]

Always like these, http://www.team3wheels.com/lt_iii.html , 18x10 and 18x12 cast run $395 each.

[CampbellshotrodsAZ]

A general idea of price would definitely help as everyone has different definitions of "reasonable". I think Boss Motorsports 338's are reasonable at under $800 a set, but there was a time that that price was tricky for me. I never thought I'd pay over $3300 for a set of forged wheels like I did this year, but that's cheap to some people who drop down $6k for a set of Forgelines.

Word of warning, be careful on the pricing. That only applies on certain offsets, if you go outside of those they get much more expensive. I do have these and they are great looking wheels and look very timeless and yet modern on our old cars.

[Dan Shook]

I would like to find something in the $500 each range if possible. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with the US Mags pro touring wheels they offer? Thanks

[Schwartz Performance]

US Mags is just as expensive as most 3-piece wheel companies if that's the type you're looking at. 2pc welded or 1pc cast are the cheapest and fit into your price range.

We sell Forgestar wheels, which are rotary forged and lightweight. They are semi-custom, stocked in specific diameter/width cores with extra thick lug pads. The offsets are custom created by milling the backside of the lug pad and then drilling the lug pattern to depth. If you know your backspacing requirements, you can use an online backspace to offset calculator and see if there are any that work within the range of each size wheel.

18x10 (deep concave) and 18x12 (super deep concave) would be $1500/set, and take about 8 weeks to build.

I am in the same boat looking wheels I am looking at welds, US Mag are on the list the forgestar Above look pretty promising if you can get them for $1500 a set

The Forgestars are real nice especially for the price. I was going to order them but ended up ordering Bonspeed wheels.
I preferred the polished billet wheel look. If I was going the full protouring look I would have gone with Forgestars.
I know a lot of people on here have a lot of bad things to say about Bonspeed but so far their customer service has been great.

[TheJDMan]

Take a look at the Weld RT/S series wheels. American made billet wheels for reasonable prices and they can be ordered in virtually any width and offset.

Brad's not gonna screw you over when you're that close. You'll be fine.

Yeah, I hope not. I'm only an hour away from them.
I'm real happy with them, so far.
My wheels are still about 7 weeks from being done, so I still have a long wait.

What's the wait time on a set of cf10?

[camarodude87]

I was looking at some f14's. Have no clue how I would go about measuring for my 69. Emailed them. Hopefully they will reply back

Do you have any pics of these on a 69 camaro or nova where the rear wheels are tucked up into the body?
Thanks!!

He'll be able to help you. I was looking at these and he was very helpful on getting the right offset.

You can get nice wheels for $2000 if your willing to do some work. I bought some used fikse 3 peice and rebarreled the rear to the proper offset. I did have to drive to AZ from SoCal to get em but they were half price and like new.
HREs are very nice forged 3 peice wheels and fairly common. I've seen sets go as low $1000-1200 on various forums. They also have a 40 hole hoop which again is common and available around the web for like $125 a hoop.
If you want a 1 piece you kinda SOL cuz your gonna have to order something custom. I looked at forgestar before I found my fikse's. Lead time was like 4-6 wks
You didn't specify how your going to get a 9.5 or 10 in the front. If your using a corvette based front subframe you can run front wheels off a vette(OEM or aftermarket) since the offsets are similar.
I've got an art Morrison front on my '69 Camaro with a non mini tub rear and schemed for months on how to get the most wheel for least money. The 3 peice rebarreled was the best way to go.
