Ok guys need your opinions on this one, my buddy Erik is driving me grazy!!
The choise has been narrowed to two set of wheels for a '68 Camaro:
Forgeline WC3, 18x8, 18X10 with gun metal center, stepped lip

Boze PT, 18x8, 19x10 with gun mental center, smooth lip

I like the Boze, do not care for the rivets on the Forgeline

I'd go w/ the Boze w/ brushed lip and gunmetal centers. The Forgeline's are a little too busy for my taste due to the rivets.

Forgeline, dont they have a hidden hardware option? If that is an issue.

Seems like a lot of people have that same Forgeline, but it is a nice wheel... the Boze will be a little different.

Can't go wrong either way IMO, but I'm leaning BOZE as well.

Have you considered Bonspeed's GT-B? It's got a similar look, and we can get really creative with different finishes.
Give us a call at Bonspeed if you have any questions. Ask for Gary.

Forgeline for me - I'd try to see if there were a hardware option to tone down the "busy" look as others have mentioned. Some like 'em, some don't. And I'm finding I'm a stepped-lip kinda guy also.

Both good choices. I now own a set of Forgelines and Boze wheels. Both offer great wheels and customer service. Frank @ Prodigy Customs has really good pricing on either.

Cliff and Erik,
We've talked so many times about these, but we never discussed the Schott G5!!! That would be the perfect wheel for you guys. High quality, no rivets, clean and comes in the 18/19 combos you want! Call me....
Cliff, your steering wheels shipped yesterday, I fear they might not make it to you before the weekend. :(

I guess I'm feeling left out...I better put up another idea for you as well. Our ID313 wheels. We can do them in two piece or three piece. We can do it without the rivets in 2 piece if you want and in different finishes.

Nope, but keep me updated....
I'd do the Forgeline myself, between the 2 original choices.
Forgeline 1

I wanted to toss this one in the mix as well.
It is the Forgeline MD3P available 18" 19" and 20"
We can build it with a polished or chrome lip and can powder coat, polish, brush, chrome plate or custom paint the centers.
The wheel pictured has a gun metal powder coated center.
We are consistantly running 3-4 week build times on most finishes and can accomodate most brake and backspace requirements.
Frank at Prodigy Customs is currently running a special and can help you with any questions you may have on your wheel specifications.
Thanks for all your support,
