My new Wheels

[Scarface]

I received my new wheels this week. These are going on a 1967 Chevelle

Let me know what you think

[Johnny Blaze]

Very nice! What size(s) are you going with?

[Scarface]

Thanks

18x8 in the front and 18x10 in the back

[68firebird]

very nice, what kind are they? I see they're budniks, but what model?

[NvrDun71]

Look like cheap junk to me man............ J/P. They look awesome, Im sure they didn't come cheap tho with that name stamped in the middle of em.

[Scarface]

Thanks

They are Budnik Shotgun with the centers powder coated and the rim brushed

I ordered them from Jon @ Budnik very nice guy

[Todds69]

Those are sharp looking wheels...nice choice.

[hiwayman]

nice colour something different

[Kenova]

You see...... it's threads like this that make it so hard to pick out a set of wheels. Just when you're sure of what you want ....BAM , you see another cool set of wheels like these.
These ones remind me of some of the early cast magnesium wheels from the '60s.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

dope!

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Those look incredible. That might just be the nicest Pro-Touring '67 Chevelle I've ever seen (I especially like the lack of chrome). Post some more pics if you can.

[John McIntire]

that looks real nice! I like the look of painted wheels on certain cars, and you pulled it off pretty well! I also like how you gave the grill and bumper the same treatment

[LoRollr]

Those wheels are sweet. What backspacing are you running?

Thanks
I am running a 6 inch backsapce on the rear 18x10's and a 5 inch backspace on the front 18x8's. But the rearend I have in my car is out of a 72 chevelle so it is an inch wider than the original rearend that came in the car

Thanks guys when I got the wheels I just decided to have any chrome on the car done the same color as the wheels (Got the idea from Jon's car). Just while I had the car at the paint shop we gathered up the bumpers and all the chrome and took them to a local powder coat place (Allot of the chrome was in pretty bad shape so I didn't mind powder coating it). I will get somemore pictures of the car

The front of the car doesn't set level I think I have a weak spring on the drivers side (Still has the 6 cylinder springs under the front of the car holding up a BBC) I am in the process of trying to find some bolt in coil overs for the front

[Budnik Wheels]

Your Chevelle looks great!

[colt zantop]

dito on what ralph said! that looks so stealth......I love it. nice paint combo, etc....!

[1971novaSS]

Thats is a killer velle ya got there. Love it! :twothumbs

[DriverzInc]

Nice ride! I'm partial to that color on the wheels... LOL. Nice to see pictures of the car.

[keffe1970]

look good

[6'9"Witha69]

Looks very good.

[matthimself456]

wow! you nailed the look! What tire sizes are those? Mini-tubbed, rolled lips, or just careful measuring?

Thanks Jon My whole Idea came from your car so thanks again

Thanks guys for all the nice comments. The car has a 295/35 18 on the back and it is a very tight fit with no minitub just a little trimming of the lips. The car still sets up a little high in the back so I am looking at ordering some 2 inch springs and the front is setting on the original 6 cyl springs (One side is lower that the other) So I am going to order me some QA1 bolt in coilovers. Anyone know where to get the best deal on some QA1 bolt ins and does anyone have any idea what spring # I need to make the car set right about where it is in the front?

Thanks

[1Fine69]

jeez that is mean as hell

[matthimself456]

For front springs check out the circle track coils and adjusters available from speedway, stock car products, and other roundy round sources. A few guys on here use them. You will need 5 inch diameter by 9.5 inch free height springsand the "adjustable hidden spring shims" as they are reffered to in the speedway catalog. Do a search for what rates to use as a starting point. Much cheaper than coilovers, or even aftermarket lowering springs, and still allow for adjustment of ride height without changing spring rates.

By the way I think your front tires are backwards. I could be wrong but I think you need to swap sides.

Thanks I willl check this out (Do these springs ride good?) You are correct I noticed that I put the tires on the wrong sides after I took the picture. Thanks for looking out for me

Thanks again everyone for all the help this place is great
