I'll see if I can round a few pictures up for you tomorrow and post them. I have some but not on my home computer. If you have any questions or need any pricing info just let me know.

Here's some pictures. We can do that wheel with and without rivets and we can also do different finishes on the centers. Just shoot me a PM if you need anything.

man I love those wheels. I was quoted 2100 bucks for a set of 17's and thats redonkoulous... its retarded that other companies cant seem to make a plain simple clean 5 spoke wheel affordable.. Intro did a faboulous job on the wheel, but the price tag is out of my reach... American racing almost nailed it with their torqlite wheels but killed it when they put that raised portion around the lug nuts.. morons...
heres gmracers truck with the modified intros (no beadlock non sense)

I think you should have PM'd me for a quote because I can beat that price by a long shot for a set of 17's. You must not have contacted Intro directly. Even the price listed on our website for a set of 17's is $1750. I can do better than that as well.

You guys are awesome!!! Thanks for the pics.

Dustin: I am dead set on these wheels in an 18x9 (front) and an 18x10 (rear) for my 1970 chevelle. I actually just talked to Dave Nace's wife (cant remember her name) at the GoodGuys show in puyallup, WA this past weekend. She recommended no bigger than an 18x8 for the front, but I have seen most guys run atleast a 18x9. Any reason I cant run this style of wheel that wide? Also is it possible to get it in a 18x11 for the rear? THANKS

On any 68-72 Abody you can run a 9" wide wheel up front, and as wide as a 275 tire. Its just knowing the right backspace.

Yep, Dave and his wife Lynn were both up in Puyallup this past weekend. The setup that either of them told you about will be conservative, but you also don't have to worry at all about any chance of rubbing. We deal with so many different customers that we have to give suggestions so there's no chance of rubbing. The Pro-Touring crowd is generally willing to push things a little more and if things rub slightly while going through a dip they don't have a problem with it. Some of our customers would be extremely upset if that happened to them, thus we are conservative on our fittment suggestions. As Jon mentioned, if you get the right backspace, then you can run a 9" no problem.

With regards to an 11" rim, the wheel hoop manufacturer doesn't make an 11" wide hoop, therefore 10" is the widest we offer. We can custom make an 11" for you, but it costs quite a bit extra to widen the wheels. We can do it, but you really gotta want that extra inch.

If you didn't get a price quote from Dave and Lynn this past weekend, just shoot me a PM and I'll get you one. If you'd like to make an order I can set that up for you via PM/email as well. Just let me know.

Cool, the 18x10 is fine by me, just wanted to see if was an option.
I also did get a quote and I plan on putting in my order a little over a week from now. You will be the first person I will contact, Thank you for your help. I also forgot to ask about how I choose the powder coat color?

We can powder coat in just about any color. What type of color are you looking to go with?

Exactly like the pic you posted, the second one down. Also I like the look without the hardware.

I was one of the first to have a set of those, a few years back. Here they are on my previous 69 Camaro.

That's a medium charcoal finish. When you go to order just let me know and I'll be sure to get you the same finish.
