New Gen Lite wheels

[spacepirate]

I know all the drama with DriverzInc. and New Gen but I really liked the design he had for the "Lite" wheels. Are there any other wheels out there similar to these? I know Forgeline makes a somewhat similar set but they are super pricey. Looking for 18"s on my 68 Camaro. Just curious if you guys know.

only the Forgeline "laguna" is in 18s..but talk about pricey..

BEAUTIFUL wheels though.. worth the money.

Team III has a Minilite that might tickle your fancy and they are available in 18". The prices are not too bad, either:

Thanks guys

I know I will get blasted for saying this but I would buy a set of New Gens from Jon in a minute. I love my Lites and I don't know of one New Gen order that failed to be filled when all that stuff went down. He still makes wheels and can make you a set too.

On a side note, those Rushforth copies look like Chevy Silverado wheels. There is no compromise if you are after the best "mini-lite" style in big dia. and 3 pc.

Thanks for your honesty go-fish! I actually purchased several things from him in the past and never had any issues.

I will second the Team III wheels, for me they are the best 18" Minilite style wheel, right shape, right finish.....and I got all 4 wheels for the price of one of the boutique wheels.

Maybe Jon of NewScam will cut you a deal if you mention he still has $2000 of mine. I would seriously take your business to someone without a shady past. I went with Rushforth spiders and really like them a lot!

The Team III wheels look badass.. good price too.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

I might want to come off my Lite wheels on Venny anyways..

[spacepirate]

Oh really? Let me know please.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Your car would have to have a couple of modifications to run these such as an aftermarket front clip and minitubs.

these are the only wheels Jon made in the stepped lips.. 1 of 1 set.

[spacepirate]

Yeah, I noticed you have some large footprints with those but I am planning on doing a minitub soon. I also wonder if I could get them re-hooped?

[go-fish]

You can get them re hooped by a number of sources in the So Cal area. If you need to know the place I can find out who it was I talked to. Can't remember off the top of my head. I have no idea the cost it would be though.

By the hoops and do it yourself. Check out http://www.americanrim.com/ for rim shells

I'd be curious what hoop pricing is...

[MIKE67]

I was told they should be about $160 to $200 per shell for 3 piece halfs. American Rim also makes 2 piece shells.

Thanks for the info guys.

Oh, awesome price on the Team3 rims, thanks for the link!

What's the typical back-spacing for an 18" rim with the stock subframe/no mini tub on a 68 camaro?
