Coys Wheels

[00fxd]

I think I am about to order a set of 18" Coys C-5 wheels. http://www.coyswheel.com/coys.html Has anyone used these and how do you like them? Did they ship promptly?
Thanks, Frank.

[TonyL]

I hear great things. I haven't personally used them but do a search for Coy's on our site and you'll find lots of satisfied customers. I plan to use em too.

[jy211]

I just got my two front wheels yesterday for a 56' Chevy were finishing up. I did a staggard set up, 18's and 20's. The 20's were shipped right away. They told me the fronts would be 2 weeks.

I should have them mounted and on the car this week. :woot: :yeah:

I have had a lot of issues getting some stuff back. Long story short. I went to have my wheels mounted and the tire place bent one of the lips on one of my 17x10s. It took Coys almost three months and me getting kicked out of the tire place to get my wheel back. In the process one of my center caps got lost. I have been told now for almost two months that they would send it. I finally had to order a set from Intro at $20 bucks a pop.

On a side note when I ordered the wheels back in Jan it took three weeks to get them, I was really happy with their service up until my wheel got bent. I was told that the issue with getting the wheel back was that they couldn't find a hoop to replace my bent one with.

Thats just my 2cents tho. I have heard that there is a place Indianapolis, IN that sells Coys wheels and that people have had good luck with them.

[00fxd]

Thanks guys, sounds good.
Lower90, is your bent wheel a coys or another brand?

[lower90xcab]

Thanks guys, sounds good.

It's a Intro wheel, that Intro built for Coys to sell. I have never seen the wheel on Intro's website.

From what I can gather, Coy's doesnt build wheels. They buy/contract other companies to build wheels for them. There has been a talk on other forums that the Coys C5 are really Boyd Smoothie 2s, with a Coys logo on the center cap.

[00fxd]

Thats no good, Im in a big boycott codingoof mode!

[killerzracing71]

hey i love my cpy c5's.......but it took them 4ever to send out my wheels an got mad at me for asking whats going on......im only 17.....turn 18 on the 29th.....n 1000$ is a lot of money for me.....n i cant afford to be screwed over......okay it took them a total of 4 weeks to send me my wheels....


yes they dont make the wheels they are contracted.....i think thats why it tooks so long for my wheels to be sent out beacuse the 20" c5s werent ready yet i think?????


i love them cheap....no1 has them.....n all have a deep lip.....

[TonyL]

oddly enough most wheel companies use this model. Wheels are made by MHT or some other big company to specs and designs for whoever wants them. (foose pops right to mind) It's just the easyest cheapest way to get it done.

Three piece wheels are different, and usually cast and forged right there, hence the huge price difference. Coy's turn around of 4 weeks sounds ok to me. Some places take months.

[TonyL]

Oh. and the claim that coy's are boyd smoothie IIs? thats crap.

note the peaking on the spokes of the smoothie and the cast area around the lug nuts. Totally different.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif


Now a real case could almost be made that coy's copied TTIIs.. almost.
note the peaking of the spokes near the bolt circle in the middle as compared to the softer radius on the coy's model.
Subtle but diffrent enough.

bro next time type out the whole word. My mind went numb deciphering...:look:

Oh and when I got in my last 2 wheels, there was a box of lugs with an american racing sticker on it!

[ViperBlue68]

I believe the TTII caps fit the coys wheels as well

[TonyL]

there's no question they are real close to each other. but the lip is different, "fat lip" style. I gotta say i like the coy's interpitation best. And the 200 per wheel price aint too shabby either. (for the 18x7s Im getting)

[00fxd]

I did order the wheels today [my birthday]. They assured me that they had them in stock and will be shipped Friday. It will take a couple of days to get and install my tires. I had them also supply my BFG g-force T/A KDW2 tires so they will be sent mounted and balanced. I paid a little more for the tires but I like that idea in case there are any issues. No one can blame anyone else. $1650 total including frieght.
I'm told that I should have them next thurs. :3gears:
I did ask where they were made. They are they're own design and are made for them by an off shore manufacturer [like everything else].

That helps clear things up then. Like I said before, when they 1st shipped the wheels they arrived right on time. Post pics when you get them.

[romar 02 SS]

I talked to Coys last tuesday and was told the owner had just finished a meeting with their supplier from China.I was told they wouldn't have my wheels (18x9.5 rear) for 2.5 weeks and I wouldn't have them for another week after that. If I didn't like look so much I'd order something else. Larry

[EFI69Cam]

Isupplier from China

The reason why I would NEVER buy these.

Do you really want to risk your car and your life with some madeinchina crap?

[00fxd]

I quite agree with the made in china crap and I hate supporting them but any made in north america stuff is just way out of my comfort zone price wise. Plus in the past many items I have purchased assuming they were north american made were off shore after all. Also, does anyone have any experience with these types of components failing? To be legal to be sold on our highways, we do have the protection of them being d.o.t. approved for safety I should hope.

[TonyL]

To be legal to be sold on our highways, we do have the protection of them being d.o.t. approved for safety I should hope.

You are correct. The only "quality" issue I know of that is made in china related is the powdercoating coming off of Foose brand wheels. (could have been a bad batch) but Foose isn't known for slapping his name on crap. I trust them enough. If and when I go into the performance part business as we plan to, we'll follow the same model and offer cool wheels, made in china fairly priced.

The DOT does not test each wheel. They approve the design with the specified material and manufacturing process. It is then up to the manufactures QC to determine if the wheel meets spec. QC is the biggest problem with PRC stuff.

And I will pay more to get the non chinese parts from your competition.

I will not buy PRC parts for my car ever, and I am not alone.

[TonyL]

I will not buy PRC parts for my car ever, and I am not alone.

Im sure not, there's plenty of people out there that like stuff made in the usa. Sadly, the costs involved keep parts out of reach for the average or entry level enthusiasts. And truely thats where the money is. Just a fact of business in this day and age im afraid.

I agree, but I have made the choice to not buy rather than buy the PRC stuff.

Taiwan is a politically much less objectionable supplier, have you checked into sourcing from there?

[TonyL]

we have not. just with KMC. bringing new wheel designs to market is a fun venture. Let me tell you.

[brickyard69]

I too am thinking of buying the Coy's (grey centers that I will paint satin black).

My only issue is that they do not make a 5" BS 18x* wheel only a 4.75".

I guess I will have to call them.

Anyone ever run a 4.75" front?

[00fxd]

brickyard, I see where they make a 4.5, 5, 5.5 b.s in 18" depending on the width. I don't see any 4.75 in 18".
http://www.coyswheel.com/coys.html

[hifi875]

orderd 18x9.5 c5s on may 11 told would not be in till middle of july so i got 20's and they hooked me up on price and sent them right out. fedex says they will be here 7/1. cant wait.

[darthvegagt]

For those of you that have purchased a set of COYS or are going to order a set, which style of the c-5's are you going with? Polished, chrome, or the grey centers? just curious. Just taking a quick look at the gallery on the COYS website, IMO I think the chrome version look kinda odd, I like the polished versions myself, also love the grey centers on the correct colored car, maybe black or silver. late.

[darthvegagt]

For those who have the chrome C-5's how do you like them? Same question for those with the polished versions?
Anyone running 18x8 fronts and 20x8.5 rears on a 69 camaro? Pics? I think I am going to go with this setup.

[jy211]

I am running coys c5 18 and 20's on a 56' Chevy. I should have some better pic's shortly

[killerzracing71]

:slap: what are you talking about.......since i only said "4ever" plus "N" about 3 times.....how did you have a hard time dechphering what i wrote......

weird......anyway


i have polishes c-5's.....n those look very very dull in dark places.....not like weld wheels how they still have a shimmer when its darker....... but if u let the light hit those COys...omg..... the look like chrome...... i have seen the chrome c5s in person (kinda upset me beacuse i thought i was gonna be the only one with those wheels in my area) an those are very very bright......

[TonyL]

Its the shortening of the words he's talking about the N instead of "and" and the u instead of "you". Plus we like to use punctuation around here too. you cant be bothered with typing out a three letter word, but you can type six periods in a row instead of one? He's just asking you to use proper spelling and grammer, it's in the rules.

[BRIAN]

Not to get into heated debate but? I have to agree with the made in China deal in regards to shopping elsewhere. The problem with Americans is we do not care who we do business with if the price is dirt cheap. I guess they do not realize the US made prices are higher for the exact same reason. Does China make some good products? Yes, I guess so but I would rather spend a little more knowing it was made with quailty US hands.


The China quick sell products are the biggest problem we have today with the trade industry. Didn't Edelbrock have huge problems with the copies of their manifolds? Greed is the sole motive. Take a US made product, bring it over to China and have them bid to copy 95% of it and sell it to compete against the US counterpart. Not always, but there may be quality control reasons they cost more here. I do believe the Boyd confusion was they were marketed as Boyd wheels on Ebay when they first hit our shores.

Buy American as the job you save might be your own!!! Also last I checked we are at war and need the cash flow. Although the parts might be made in the USA but the accounting dept will be in India. Just my 2 cents.

[brickyard69]

I just ordered a set of the grey ones for my black 69 Camaro.

I may paint the centers satin black if I don'tlike the grey.

18x9.5 and 18x7

Jim was great to deal with and the price was what I could afford.

I will mount Nitto 555s on them.

[darthvegagt]

Brickyard I think those wheels are going to look sweet on your black car. I think I am going to paint mine orange, but haven't totally commited to that color yet. Anyone else like or dislike there chrome c-5's? Still trying to decide whether to go chrome or polished on my 69. thanks

[tbair]

heres the link to the store in Indy for the coys check e-bay store paradiseroadrc also on lateral-g in sponsor news

[jfman]

Sucks that they dont offer 17x9.5's .... A real shame..

[49wood]

the grey ones are so sweet. i've seen them at a swap meet in Reno. Hoping to get a pair for my black 49 chevy truck

[killerzracing71]

i how deep is the lip on the 20x10 i was tryin to get those but they werent ready to be shipped at my time of purchase

realy wish my car could handle 20's n 22's

[jfman]

Yeah the painted ones look like a good option for a daiky driven car.

I would love to see them on a red 1970 chevelle.

[TonyL]

(not the best photoshop I've done.)

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[jfman]

Thanks !

I'm thinking I should go with the polished instead... Those chevelles have big chrome bumpers and seems like grey wheels are out of place on that car.... hmmmmm...

[TonyL]

That was exactly my line of thinking also. I ended up going with chrome.

[PRRC]

Tony beat me to it but here is a set we just sold to a customer. 18x8 and 18x9.5

[jy211]

I have them on my 56' 18's and 20's...picture is in my sig...

[PRRC]

Hey guys just alittle heads up.We just recieved word from Coys that there will be a price increase on NOV.1 Not sure of all the details yet. But if your on the fence now would be a good time. Thanks Tim

[killerzracing71]

:banghead: darn that sucks.....i wish i had got chrome i hate polishing........

But do you have any idea how big that tire is on that chevelle

i love the way it sits....

if they had 20 x10's in stock i would have had a lip like that :banghead:

[jfman]

Hey guys just alittle heads up.We just recieved word from Coys that there will be a price increase on NOV.1 Not sure of all the details yet. But if your on the fence now would be a good time. Thanks Tim

Is your price the same as theirs ?

[PRRC]

Well........ Yes and No. This answer keeps me out of trouble. LOL. Need a better explination give me a call and I will expain. 317 541-9590

[elcamino80]

Well........ Yes and No. This answer keeps me out of trouble. LOL. Need a better explination give me a call and I will expain. 317 541-9590

So what would a set of two 18x8 and two 18x9.5 C5's cost? (4.5" & 5"BS)

Oh and the most important, do you ship overseas?

[Yelcamino]

I don't know if you've checked out Newstalgia Wheels, but in the past 6 months I've bought two sets of wheels w/ tires mounted from them and they are a first class act. Shipping was prompt and prices were great. In fact, if you buy your wheels and tires from them as a set, mounting, balancing, and shipping are free. However, proper fitment is up to you. If the combo you order doesn't fit right, I don't know what they'll do for you. Ask for Howard.

[PRRC]

I dont think they carry Coys?

[brickyard69]

I have them on my 69 (see photos).

I was VERY happy with the whole expeience.

Trust me, I have pushed these wheels to the limit and have had no issues.

I mounted Nitto Extremes on them.

I like the grey ones on a car like yours. On car w/o any chrome, the grey ones look so good.

[PRRC]

Brickyard69, Your car looks great.The wheels fit it very well. Are you from Indy? Just wondering with user name of brickyard. Tim

[00fxd]

This pic of my '65 has 18x7's 4.5 backspace.
I will try and post a better pic.
I would prefer 8's but then there is too much interferance on the fronts at full lock steering. I want all 4 wheels to match. Bfg kdw's, mono leaf front, solid bushings and urethane everywhere, Howe long stud upper ball joints, tubular adjustable upper control arms, Bilstiens, Camaro front spoiler, it handle's great.

VBP monosring kit. I haven't used the rear mono yet because every car I have been in with it has been bouncy. No good.
No squeaks from the urethane yet but I only have them on the lowers. The uppers are solid bushings from http://www.scandc.com/ included with they're control arms. At this point I would try to find del-a-lum lower control arm bushings. I did not know about them when I installed my urethanes.
The wheel spokes on my car are "Gunmetal" colour. It does not show up well on the pic. I would perfer a semi gloss black but that is what http://www.coyswheel.com/ has.

[PRRC]

Just do like a buddy of mine did last year at Christmas.He bought him self a gift and wrapped it up and put it under tree from santa. So he knew she was going to spoil it for the kids. Not sure how that worked out for him later that night,But I thought it was pretty funny.

I had a 69 Pacecar that I sold. hence the screen name.

bingham72,That Wheel is made by Boss motorsport. For some reason it only is cast to fit 05/06 Mustangs. I can check and see if they are casting in any other bolt patterns. Tim

Brickyard69,

What are the sizes and backspace you went with. Tire sizes too please. Thanks! Car looks great!

PRRC,

Will these clear C5 brakes a la ATS spindles? Touring Classics has the template for their brakes that I am using.

[PRRC]

Boulder69, I took a look at ATS spindles,They sure make a nice product.They say they are a direct replacment with no mods.And it looks like you may want 18" wheels.So there shouldnt be any problems.Tim

[68ls1wannabe]

do they make a 17x11?

[Boulder69]

Tim,

It's not the ATS spindles rather the C5 caliper offset. They are farther outboard than the typical big brake setup for a stock spindle. Touring Classics has templates on their site. I am super interested to know if these wheels will clear the calipers. -eric

[ZYAL8R]

Just ordered mine and got them put on last week. I bought mine from Paradise road rod and custom, PRRC on this site. Tim was very helpfull and went above and beyond to get me the wheels. Thanks tim.

Chris Sanders

Here are acouple of pics of the car with the wheels. (18X8 & 20X8.5)

Chris, the wheels really look great on your car.I like the greys with the yellow.Great choice.

68ls1wannabe,sorry 17x7 and 17x8 is all they offer.

boulder69,I will check to see if they will work.

Tim

[TonyL]

Hey chris, those look great! Whats going on behind them? are those simulators or something back there? where'd you get them?

/cant wait till I get mine.

[Boulder69]

Tim,

Did you have a chance to check the caliper clearance? Thanks. -eric

[brickyard69]

Mine are 18x9.5 and 17x4.5 I belive they were 5.5 on the rear and 4.5 on the front.

Call James at Coys 801-812-2929.

He knows a lot about the fit of these. He really helped me figure out wat way to go.

I also have Touring Classic big brakes on mine and a Hotchkis total control system with a 2" drop.

What size tires are being run on these wheels for the Chevelle?

[JJSmitches]

Boo it didnt copy the picture in the quote, can you PM me pricing for these wheels? Did they require spacers, the backspacing looks right and I also have a Chevelle, 1972.

[PRO FAB]

22 X 9 And 20 X 8.5 295x25x22 275x30x20

Pro Fab, I like your look too, but I think the black Chevelle is more my style.

My Coys came in today. I got the polished 17x7's 4.5BS for the front and the 17x8 4.5BS for the rear.

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering what the lip looked like on a 4.5 backspaced 8" C-5. (that's what I ordered) Those are gonna look awesome!

[JJSmitches]

Who can provide a quote for me?

[TonyL]

Tim at PRRC can, @ 317 541-9590

ask about our exclusive pt.com pricing.

[OLDFLM]

I like the fat lip!! I wonder if you can get polished centers with a chrome lip with the chome center cap pictured?
V/R,
Ty

[mone]

That Chevelle with the 20 and 22s is sweet!!Im gonna see if that will fit my ride....

[killerzracing71]

:nopity: y didnt i get 20s n 22s.....anyway where is paradise road ride and custom loacted becuse u have called you guys a couple times an got the answering machine..... im on the east coast i called @ 10 an 11 is it too early for you or whut.....i wanted to know somemore about the coys

[JJSmitches]

I am having a problem getting a price too, but I used PM's. You guys go on vacation?

[TonyL]

They are on the way to SEMA right now. Tim has been insanely busy. When I see him I'll tell him to check the thread if he hasn't yet.

[jfman]

I got great service from Tim, Must be a temporary setback.

BTW: It was very hard to get the tires onto these wheels compare to TT2's. What makes them look good has a backside aswell. The wide lip means there is a lot of distance before you can reach a "step" in the rim starting from the front. So you have to push the tire down a LOT to get it to go into the smaller part of the rim. It creates an angle on the tire during mounting that is so great that it's very hard to get the tire over the wheel.

If your tire machine has delrin(plastic) protectors on the clamps, I suggest setting the rim upside down, and the clamps over the rim for the mounting of the tires. The backside of these wheels have the step located very close to the edge so mounting the tire from the back is MUCH MUCH EASIER.

[TonyL]

mount tires from the back.

Good tip

/saved that one in the vault. (mine come friday) w00t!

[glock73110]

I got great service from Tim , said he was leaving for sema he is in indiana

[mone]

What makes these wheels look so good is the deep lip and the stepless rim, it makes a world of difference IMO..

[PRRC]

Hey,Guys we havent fallen of the face of the earth.We are at SEMA.This is the first time we have had a chance to set down and look at the thread.So lets see if I can answer a few questions.

OLDFLM72,You get the COYS in chrome or polished but not a mix of the 2.

Killerracing71 and Jsapata,Sorry we missed your calls we will be back in the shop on Monday Nov.6 And we can follow up on the wheels then.Thanks Tim

[crazyfireman]

Ordered my 20x8.5s and 18x7s today. I went with the polished kinda like the look a little better. Hopefully will ship on Tuesday have them first of the following week. I will post pictures when I get them!!!! Tim gave me a good deal and was extremley helpful and polite too.

[jfman]

mount tires from the back.

Good tip

/saved that one in the vault. (mine come friday) w00t!

Just make sure the tire machine used is lip friendly. The one I used had delrin protectors on the clamps.

[crazyfireman]

Cool I sure will and I think I will try the mount them from behind method also. Any pics with your on yet

[jfman]

No they are not on the car yet.

[crazyfireman]

I received my 20x8.5 and 18x8 Polished Coy C-5s today. They are polished awesomely, as shiny as my old Torque thrusts. I ordered them through Paradise Rods and Customs and had them at my door in a week!! man the lip on these things are sweet, I will post pics tomorrow.

[crazyfireman]

Here is a picture of the 20s, The tire shop had to order rubber protectors for their machine for the reverse mount, should be installed on the car on Sat.

[crazyfireman]

Here they are on the car. The front 18s with this backspacing sits perfect and doesnt rub where my old 245/45/17s did. The rears tuck under perfect and do not rub. Havent driven it yet but I am pretty sure I wont have any problems.

[PRRC]

Looks good. You sure did'nt waste any time getting them on the car.Glad they worked out so well.
Thanks Again Tim

[TonyL]

Can't wait to mount mine up.

C'mon, payday...!

[PRRC]

Tony,Cant wait to see them on the vair.Be sure and post some pic's Tim

[TonyL]

Count on it!

[DeepBlue68]

Here they are on the car. The front 18s with this backspacing sits perfect and doesnt rub where my old 245/45/17s did. The rears tuck under perfect and do not rub. Havent driven it yet but I am pretty sure I wont have any problems.
crazyfireman - did you get 4.5" backspacing on your 18x8's for the front? Also, what size tires are you using? How much have you lowered your car in the front?

[crazyfireman]

I orderd them with 4.0 backspacing that is what Coys recommended. My car is lowered 2 inches all the way around and tire sizes are 225/40/18 and 255/35/20 . I wish I went with a little taller tire on the rear, but wanted to be safe. No clearance issues at all.

[crazyfireman]

Here they are after the test drive, no rubbing issues, and handle great. $1350 shipped rims and tires and mounting!!!!

[mone]

1300 for rims tires and mounting??Thats unheard of these days of billet this, modular that...plus 2 wheels are 20s!!??I dont believe my eyes.I have to get me some.Could u have run a 10 inch wheel in the rear?Also are those polished or chrome?

[jfman]

I got $1210 in my setup (they are 17's)

[TonyL]

We told you PRRC was hard core. LOL.

Seriously. they are the best cost alternative I'm aware of. I strongly urge you to check into em.

[crazyfireman]

I really think I could have went with a 20x10, the offset would have to be perfect, 20x9 no problem at all. I orderd the polished, personal preference.

[mone]

Yea that polished wheel is fire, you can go blind if they were chrome and I really mean it.I have an 81 Malibu Classic, who do I contact to find out what fits?I want biggest wheel, deepest lip but no rubbing allowed..lol..Im thinking a staggered setup will shut the place down!!

[crazyfireman]

Paradise Road Rod and Customs, there is a link on the right side ofd the page they are a sponsor here... Talk to Tim

[PRRC]

The new Rodder wheel grey centers will look very close to this.

[lower90xcab]

The new Rodder wheel grey centers will look very close to this.

So is the Rodder coming back out in a polished version also? If they do I might really think about ordering two 18x10s for the rear.

[PRRC]

Yes they will be available in chrome,polished and grey centers.

Did you swap the center caps as I don't see the Coys logo?

[jfman]

The logos arent on the caps when you get them. You can decide in stick them on or not.

[robbie9999]

(not the best photoshop I've done.)

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

is there any chance you could put them on a black 66 GTO I am dying to see what they will look like before I buy them ....

guys is there a program on the net that you can slap your car on and then what ever wheels to see the look

[robbie9999]

a lot of guys do not put 20s on the front .....c-5 coys

andI was thinking about doing so on my 66 gto ... is it the look that is bad ? or will it handle really bad ... I do not want my car to look like a 4x4 either so I may lower it a tad too ....

[robbie9999]

22 X 9 And 20 X 8.5 295x25x22 275x30x20


how does the 20's on the front handle any clearence issues

im hoping my 66 gto can handle them

[novanutcase]

Why do you want such tall wheels for the front? Are you making a Donk?:pat:

go here:

http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/aluminum_wheels.asp

and click on the words at the bottom "see our wheels on your ride"

they don't have everything, but a pretty good selection and many options to change the look of your car. Should give you a pretty good idea.

[TonyL]

I dont think 20s on the front look bad at all on this car. Most decidedly "not donked"
On some cars it just looks right.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2006/10/chevy002-1.jpg

[novanutcase]

Sorry! Didn't really mean a "Donk" in it's purest form only I think 20"s are a bit large for the front of any car! JMO

[jy211]

20's are small...Donks put 23's and up....I have 22's on my daily driver and it's not a donk for sure...

[mone]

Anyone who thinks 20s are too big nowadays just wants to hang on to the past..

[novanutcase]

Let's see in a few years.......

[mone]

20s have been around like what 8yrs?They arent going anywhere.They fill wheelwells on most cars and thats what people want bigger wheels less tire, u know the drill.If u dont like em thats cool, but they look and fit well on American muscle.

[00fxd]

I sometimes wonder if some are loosing site of the whole pro touring thing.
Isn't it about what works to update and make the car better and not about the bling?

[TonyL]

Actaully the "touring" in pro-touring, could be taken either way. This has been the debate forever, is a pro-toured car geared to be a reliable cruiser or race car? It'll never be settled. Either way, proportions are proportions, and some cars just look better with bigger wheels.

[triplecap]

I don't think the caps from American Racing will fit these wheels. My buddy has Coys on his 74' Volvo (FI 383, Tremec 5 speed) and said the AR caps didn't fit. I think they're only off by a little though and could be made to work, but really now you're just copying the TTII :D

[TonyL]

but really now you're just copying the TTII :D

Naw. the TTII can't touch the lip on Coy's wheels. Not even close.

Advantage=Coy's

[mone]

So true the Coys are much better looking than TTs..I have an old lowrider mag laying around and the Coys heavily favor a wheel called Supremes...

[robbie9999]

has anyone painted the C-5 coys that are grey into BLACK on there car

[00fxd]

I would love to paint mine flat black but the powder coat clear coat seems to be good quality so far. A shame to scuff and fog. Any probs and I will right away.

[robbie9999]

anyone no of a c-5 coys look a like - in a 19 inch version

[mone]

just get 20s man..u wont beat the price

[jknight16]

Received my Grey 18's from Tim at PRRC, tires being mounted today, should have it rolling by Saturday.

Just wanted to give credit to Tim for going to bat for me with the manufacturer after I made a mistake with the ordering :hammer: . He worked hard to make sure I got what I needed and that is extremely appreciated in this hobby! Looks like the offset in the rear is going to be perfect. Whew!! I'll post pictures when we get em mounted up. Interesting note, they changed the center cap logo from that red to a nice black and gray (which looks a lot better in my opinion), now i just need another two black and gray ones to match.

Or...Did anyone ever find out for sure whether the american racing TTII caps will fit on the coys? I could swear someone made some nicer ones than these, but can't find them now...

[PRRC]

Jeff, Thats a new one on me also.Didnt know they changed the logos.Let me know and I will get you a se of the greys.
Glad it all worked out.
Tim

[jy211]

I'll take some new logs...the red don't do my yellow 56' any favors...That's why I didn't istall them...

[jknight16]

Yeah, I wasn't too excited about putting the red logos on there with my black car, so I was pretty happy to see the silver and gray emblem in the last 2 boxes.

I could swear NPD or OPG or somebody used to carry some TTII center caps with a nice milled "SS" on them. Might be a cool swap if they would fit. I'm going to test whether that will work or not next weekend so I'll let ya'll know.

[PRRC]

Jeff, The American racing caps wont fit on the Coys.The Coys center cap is smaller.I just tried swapping a TTII and its not even close.
Tim

[jknight16]

Ok, good to know, thanks for checking that out for me Tim!

[ssmike]

Bump for an old thread.

I was looking to purchase a set of Coys wheels and was wondering if PPRC was still in business? The website link doesnt work.

Thanks.

ssmike

[SLAMDIMPALA]

Yes there still in business. If you need to get a hold of them just pm them as there website is getting redone.

Thanks Jeff! Will do.

[crazyfireman]

They dont sell Coys though....

[bybcous]

I just sold my 20 inch and 18 coys for 250 bucks, i loved them. My last set was polished, my new set will be chrome 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 front. Do you guys think i can pull of the flat black coys?

[smbrouss70]

Personally, I think blacks wheels on a black car doesn't look right... now their gunmetal grey ones, that would look GREAT!

[mone]

Man why didnt you sell them to me??

[mone]

That pic looks fake too I smell photo shopped wheels:(

[brickyard69]

[71CamaroSS]

Are those 18x10 in the rear?

[XTRMEASURES]

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2009/04/Camaro2-1.jpg
that is sick, i love the way it looks

[brickyard69]

XTRMEASURES than you for the nice comment.

The thing that is best about this car is that I built it in my garage and did everything with a tight budget. You don't have to spend $50,000 to build a nice car.

[brickyard69]

71Camaross

Those are 9.5" on the rear.

The guys at Coys have a perfect 18" setup for a non-minitubbed car. It is the same setup that TT has.


I want to minitub the car and use a low cost wheel, but Coys/TT does not make a wider 18" wheel.

[71CamaroSS]

I had been considering those in a 20x10 but I like the 18'' setup you are running better. Are you at stock height?

[ssclone]

i like these..
i think im going to order a set of C55's soon..

anyone know the spacing from the hub side to spokes? or know if there is enough room to clear c5 front brakes on an Abody?

thanks


aaron

[moby33]

Hey guys...does anyone have a clear picture of come Coy's C-55 (preferably in gun metal) mounted on a car? I was thinking of going w/ some gun metal C-5's on my '56 Nomad, but I'm now debating going w/ the C-55's. Coy's website has a ton of pics of the C-5's on cars, but I can't seem to find a decent picture of the C-55's mounted on a car. Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind - did a search & found some shots.

[ssclone]

if your looking to purchase c-55's. they have stopped production to redesign the lip and the lug nut area. what ever they have is what they have. they do not have any more 17x9.5's. i called on friday to see how many they have because i was going to purchase them, and that is what they told me.

Thanks for the info...I'm going to give them a call soon. I'm looking for some 18X7 & 20X8.5's. Still not sure if I want to go C-5 or 55's...I guess the decision will be easy if they don't have what I need in the 55's. Cheers.

I'd like to know as well.

I'm running 18x7 fronts and they clear the C5-based Baer GT brakes mounted to my AFX spindles. There's a good bit of clearance too, not bad at all.

Now, on a stock a-body spindle I don't know. But figured I'd chime in case you guys were using the AFX spindle.
