I don't post a lot, and have yet to post a build thread or updates, but I had to post up the new wheels. A HUGE thanks to Mike at MuscleRodz for hooking me up with a sweet deal and keeping in regular contact to let me know how the order was progressing at Raceline. Here are the specs:

Raceline GT-40
2 piece billet rims
Magnesium colored centers
18x8 front with 4.5 BS
18x9 rear with 5.5 BS

18x8 weighed in at 26.2 lbs, didn't weigh the 18x9's

I LOVE them and they look sweet with the Corvette brakes from KORE 3.

Thanks Mike!!

look great! So what project are they going on?

I wonder what that magnesium paint code is..

Thanks!

They are going on a '69 Camaro.

Not sure what the paint code is but it's a beautiful color! I wonder if Raceline would give that out.....?

Very nice!

Do you think the C6 Z51 Brakes (13.4") would fit behind those?

Be sure to post more pics with the tires on.

Thanks everyone, I'm very, very happy with the wheels and will definitely post up once I get the tires and get them mounted on the car. for tires I'm going with BFG G-Force, probably 275/40 rear and 245/40 front...I think, unless someone can offer a better sizing suggestion.

CliffsBlueCamaro, i'm running the KORE 3 C5/C6 kit with the 13 inch rotors and they fit perfect, no issues. I had Mike at MuscleRodz send the guys at Raceline the template Tobin gave me ahead of time just to double check they would work.

Thanks Herb, it wasn't an easy choice but they were the first wheels I started looking at. but then I got side tracked by all the other hundreds of cool wheels out there, then finally after a few months circled back to these. I couldn't beat the price Mike got me.

Thanks Ray, I absolutely LOVE your bug and have been following your build since i found it.

I'll make sure to post up pics when they're mounted, it may be a little while though unfortunately.

Thanks all,

R
