Hey I know that car. That pic is from p-town last year. Don't have clue on the wheels other than they are fatlip (softlip) style and look like 18's.

In the first pic you can see what looks to be a logo of some sorts. I am not a big wheel guy to reconize it but maybe someone else can.

I agree it looks like Boyd's logo and that wheel looks like his Gotcha series Shadow wheel.

Those are indeed Boyd Gotcha shadows.

Those look like the wheels that I have. To me they look like the Body "FURY". I have 17x8 up front and 18x12 in the rear. I looked at the Boyd website and my wheels don't look to have that much concave dish as the pic does. I would post a pic of my wheels but I'm on ssslllooowww dial-up, but if anyone would like to see a pic give me your email address and I can send you one.

boyd Furys have a much squarer end on the smaller flute out toward the wheel lip. the shadow's flutes are rounder, that aside from the fatness of the triangle cutouts are the only differences in the wheel design.

Yep those are Fury's. Note how there is no groove that comes to the lug.

no. Furys have a "groove to the lug" where the inside of the cut goes all the way to the lug area. There's no meat (about a half inch or so on a shadow) left. The touching of the groove to the lug depends on bolt circle. The smaller the bolt circle the further from the "flutes or groove" they are. Since its on a older chevy, the lugs are outboard more than in the boyd pic.

the differences are subtle. But there.
