      Choosing wheels will drive you crazy...ask me how I know.

      Since you've viewed so many,now's the time to start narrowing down your favorites...you gotta get down to the top 3 somehow man!

      I agree with John. Wheels are a very personal choice and you shouldn't give a damn what anybody else thinks. A rendering or chop is a great way to get an idea.

      They are yours and you only can make that choice.
      If you go with the mesh, I highly suggest coating the centers in something easy to maintain.
      I had mesh wheels for years, and got tired of cleaning the spoke area.

      I like either design, but a clean 5 spoke is my favorite style now.

      going about it all wrong

      First pick out a few sets of wheels you like, then show them to your wife and she will hate them all and pick the wheels you are ultimately going to end up with on your car. Which in my case worked out really well, no griping about the $$. WIN WIN

      The mesh gets my vote! But take your time making the decision. I change my mind every couple days on the wheels i like.

      My preference for my 67 Camaro is mesh, my first set of Boze wheels were the black octane. My car is on the Boze site under Chevy...Atomic Orange with black strip. My only regret with the mesh is where the valve stem is located, inside and a little to far back for most air gauges.

      Say hello to Zak for me.

      Good luck

      For looks I like whats already on the car the best, but obviously not the highest performance. go with the boost as too many go with mesh anymore.

      If you've been looking for the right wheel for two years now and it hasn't hit you over the head yet, then I wouldn't get either (mesh or boost) because it sounds like you still haven't found the ones you love....

      Alright heres my issue's after agonizing over wheels and being disappointed a few times! Why don't companies post pictures of each size wheel online instead of one canned photo. I requested photos of specific sizes and got no reply's even from wheel sellers on this sight that I considered using. I got 2 different wheels in and they did not look like the picture on the web, from the dish of the wheel, to the mounting groove (or whatever the relief is called on one piece wheels). With custom wheels I get that, but I couldn't afford that cost. Any thoughts? Also I couldn't find a wheel simulator that would allow you to rake you car slightly(diff drop front to rear)? Why are wheels considered used once the tires are mounted even if they are never run on the car? OK last issue, I was looking at some american racing wheels, but they were back ordered and they couldn't give any estimated ship date ? I dumped that brand, the web site was crap. I found a shop Americas Tire that let me order a few in to choose thankfully. Thanks sorry to hijack your post with the questions, Todd

      +1, the wheels should be the ones you keep going back to even when you look at other models. Kind of like an old flame you just can't get out of your mind.

      However long you think your project will take, double it and you might be halfway right.
