Custom DPE Forged - R05 brushed no rivets - Pics

[Nine Ball]

Here is a custom order that I had DPE Forged build for my '69 Camaro coupe. I wanted something similar to the Fikse FM5, but without the stepped lip. These turned out great, can't wait to get them on the car.

18x8 fronts and 18x10 rears, DPE Forged model "R05" brushed/clearcoated without rivets. www.DPE-Wheels.com

If any of you are interested in a set, I am a dealer for them.
18x8 fronts and 18x10 rears = $2950 shipped (silver face), $3150 shipped (polished face), or $3250 shipped (brushed/clearcoat)

[class67]

That's a very nice wheel Tony! I like everything about it.

What is the difference between DPE signature series and R series wheels?

[Nine Ball]

Signature Series = 19" and larger, only available in 3-piece.

[jackfrost]

that's pretty much my dream wheel right there.

also, only dreaming. :razz:

[Rybar]

NICE Tony, let's see some pics on your car!

[Nine Ball]

Maybe this evening or tomorrow, need to get the tires mounted first :)

[cheapthrillz]

These might be my new favorite wheels! I always wanted a set of the FM5's, but these look 10 times better IMO. I love the non-stepped lip! Great choice!

DPE makes some awesome wheels....

Now go mount the tires and install them so we can see what they look like on the car lol!

[DriverzInc]

Nice wheel. Looks almost exactly like the Budnik Hammer...

81 Malibu Classic..I want a staggered setup and the car is not a hirider it is gonna be a protouring type ride so I want some prices...I want the rear to have some nice lips so...the back wheels can be bigger like a 18/19 combo or something like that..

:Alchy: uhhhh. what?

[Nine Ball]

Since my '69 is currently in "Pro-Jackstand" mode, this is just a sneak peek photo. If you look inside of the car you'll see it stacked full of parts to install. Who would have known 69 Camaros make good storage bins for car parts :)

This car is not mini-tubbed, I ran a 275/35 rear tire and a 245 wide front, BFG KDW2.

Nice job on hitting the Fikse FM5 appearance. It's going to be a sharp looking car.

Totally agree...can't wait to see it on the ground.:cool:

[Rybar]

Looks good Tony, got a side shot?

[Nine Ball]

Nice wheel. Looks almost exactly like the Budnik Hammer...

Also one of my favorite "simple" wheels. The only thing that bothered me about the Hammer is the tiny webs that were at the corners of the spokes, and at the top of the spokes. They made the wheel look more "hotrodder" to me, instead of racing/performance styled. The lug area is more recessed on the DPE wheel also.

[skatinjay27]

those are some great looking wheels tony!!!! due to the two things you mentioned the dpe's look much much better than the hammers.

So these are going on your car? Or you're selling them? I have a 67 so I don't think I can fit a 10" rear, if only they were 9.5"

[Smock67]

You can fit a 10 if you wanted to..... Roll your fenders man Do IT...Do It Right Now Dooo IT

[Nine Ball]

Sauna, these are going on my '69. I can order as many sets as you wish, however. 10s will fit fine on a 67-68 also, just use a 275 wide tire and maybe roll the fender lips to be safe.

[saunacrank]

Really? I got told I could only use a 9 or 9.5, **** this opens a whole new world, lol. So do the ones in the pics have a silver face, or brushed/clear coated?

[Nine Ball]

The ones posted above are brushed faces with clearcoat over them. The lips are polished.

[CliffS]

Tony,

Do you run Wilwoods up front? It's not clear in the picture but it seems the bearing cap is sticking out of the center of the wheel. Does the center cap covers the bearing cap? Looking for proper wheels which solve this issue.

[Nine Ball]

Pics are shown without the centercaps, as they showed up a few days later. The caps cover the bearing cups.

Man...those look SOOOOO nice.....I need to rob a bank!

Could anyone photoshop those on my car????? Im in love...........

Are people using these wheels as daily driver wheels? I live in a wet climate and have had issues with reverse drop wheels (Kenesis) and water puddling in the area behind the center causing an annoying imbalance. This happens every time I wash the car or stop the car in the rain for more than an hour. It goes away eventually but I wondered if anyone else has experienced this or has considered it before buying them.

[Nine Ball]

Thousands of people run reverse drop wheels. Like you said, getting water 'stuck' in the backside is only a temporary problem most of the time, it isn't like it rains every single day. I always dried the backside of my wheels with a towel or air hose when I wash the cars.

[saunacrank]

so I can get these, run them 18x8 and 18x10 on 67 camaro, 4.5 front bs and 5.5 back bs, and just roll the fender lips? I have Wilwood SL6 13 inch front brakes, that an issue?
