Did this thing blow in with the storm, or what? Luke's bad-a$$ 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle is the latest Roadster Shop 'Survivor Series’ project that retains the original paint and body. It’s powered by a Texas Speed and Performance 454ci LSX mated to a Tremec T-56 transmission and rides on a Roadster Shop FAST TRACK chassis, Wilwood disc brakes, Diamond Back Classics tires, and Roadster Shop’s exclusive Forgeline RS-OE1 wheels finished in Satin Black!

Wonder if Forgeline will ever offer a budget line of wheels?

Depending on your definition of "budget", we already do. Holding size constant, our Performance Series wheels start about $200 cheaper per wheel than the Concave Series wheels.

We totally understand the cost obstacle. But by definition, all of our wheels are custom made-to-order and precision-machined from US-sourced 6061-T6 forgings, individually engineered for each unique application, hand-finished, hand powder coated, and hand-assembled. They are extremely resource-intensive to build, but that's what makes them so nice. To be honest, we have no interest in making wheels that are less nice. They wouldn't be as much fun to make. And frankly, there are already lots of people who sell cheap wheels; you don't really need us for that.

by no means I'm not saying that there not worth it I'm sure they are a fine piece like everything else RS shop puts out id love to have a set but i do not have the budget to buy them, the car does not get driven as much as id like, if you care to show them off on a 1966 pontiac tempest convertible (yes it has positraction) feel free to send a set

Can you share some information on the wheel/tire setup? (feel free to message me)

Are these 18/19 like RS normally does? They look slightly larger, like a 19/20. Curious what rear tire size this is.

Thank you,

Jamison

I think I'll put a set of these on my 68 C10 and make it look so classy...

I believe this is a 19x9.5 & 19x12 combination.

Coys wheels C-33 is probably the most similar budget wheel.
