Being you guys are the experts I figured I would start a thread for a little help.

1969 camaro RS LS2 Build. Just installed my speedtech suspension and it's not time to pick some wheels. I've been back and forth and trying to keep on a budget ($4,000 ideally for wheels and tires if possible).

I originally wanted a CONCAVE 5 spoke or split 5 spoke wheel. Due to offsets and backspacing etc. I'm not sure how concave the wheels will actually be.

The Nutek 775 is a wheel I can make work http://www.nutekwheels.com/c-6-concave-series.aspx
Just not sure how concave it will appear.

Can anybody help who has maybe looked into a concave wheel???

Other options are (but not limited to)

CCW sc16a http://www.ccwheel.com/wheelprofiles-display.php?id=SP16a

or a billet specialties DRAFT or LEMANS http://www.billetspecialties.com/wheels/pro-touring-series/protouringseries/draft/

Looking for a satin black finish wheel in a 19''. No mini tub. 10'' rear with 285.35.19 and 8'' front or 8.5 I think...

These are the Nutek 775 concave...

The problem...

If I commit to a concave wheel. I want to to really be concave...and noticeable. Otherwise it is a little boring IMO.

This is about the only wheel that I've found that looks to be concave..tough to really get a good look at it...

I appreciate all of you on this forum...I've learned a lot! Thanks for the help in advance!

Without a mini tub the widest wheel you're likely to fit is 9.5 to 10". You'll want a large amount of front space to get that look, which will require you to narrow your rear end.

On the front your track width is already set, so you won't have a lot of control over the final look of the wheel.

What is the widest width I can run on the front end??? I was told 8'' and 9'' and need to confirm. Thank you!
