Need help on wheel selection for 67 camaro - Silver and Black

[T toney]

I could use some help on wheel selection for my 67. I would like to stay under $3000 for wheels and tires. It is stock as far as the wheel wells are concerned. factory 12 bolt. I like the Boze muscle, boss 338, billet specialties street smart qualifier and fastlane. Need opinions on wheel selection and polished vs. polished outer with black or silver centers, etc. Any input would be helpful.

I plan on running 18x8 w/ 235/35/18 and 18x9 or 18x9.5 w/275/35/18. Pic of my car is below. Also looking for aftermarket disc brake kit, currently have stock disc up front and drum rear.

thanks for the photoshop work, its beyond my current computer abilities. After looking at the rushforth site I am thinking about increasing the budget a bit and going with super spokes with the titanium centers (brushed cap) and brushed or polished lip to work with the existing chrome on the car. Any vendors for rushforth able to give me a price, and anymore photoshop work with the super spokes with titanium centers would be awesome.

This all came about from a simple rear end gear change, when we found that someone cut the axles and welded ford ends on them, so the current TTII's are ford pattern, and they also dont tuck properly, so the TTII's will probably hit the for sale section soon.

Thanks for the input.

I think the Rushforth Super Spokes would look killer with titanium centers. Unfortunately I'm heading to Mexico for a week before the sun rises tomorrow, so I can't do any other photoshops. Hopefully someone else can help.

Have a great trip. I thought the Rushforths would be awesome too. I am going to give photoshop a try this weekend.

He only sells direct now. Give him a call, I'm sure he would be glad to work with you.

Well, it doesn't look like much happened while I was away. Here's a quickie with the Rushforths and some red calipers. I wasn't sure how big the wheels were on your Camaro currently. I guessed that they were 17's so I upsized them a bit in the photo, aiming for 18's.

thanks for the photoshop. My buddy did a few over the weekend but his didn't turn out to well. Here are a couple other choices I am thinking of. I will be going with 18's all around. The forgeline wheel is awesome, but of course I picked the most expensive one out there!

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. What size are the wheels that are currently on the car?

Here are some Forgeline's in titanium:

Black wheels, black calipers:

I think a black wheel with polished lip is the way to go. Check out Larry's camaro, I think the wheels on it are sweet, he even has the red calipers.

Here is Larry's wheel from the forgeline website

I like the idea of a black wheel to match what you already have going with the top and stripe. Adding a different silver or gray in there would be too much with the silver paint.

I like that.

Completely agree on black wheel with polished lip. Polished always looks right if you have other chrome trim on the car, and the black looks good with the black hood.

Agreed! Adding another color looks cluttered IMHO

They say timing is everything!! I am in the same exact boat. 67 camaro silver with black stripes. Looking at getting Foregline wheels as well. Looking at 235/35/18 up front and 315 - 335/30/18 in rear. Car is getting mini-tubbed, axel shortened and ridetech 4-link with Single adjustable coil-overs as we speak.. I have it narrowed down to ZX3 or GA3. I thought I was going with brushed center and polished lip until I look more at Larry's car. Damn, the black and polish look good with that car!! My big stick point is how do you know how much back space to do on the wheels.

[Tom5410]

Bye the way, have you decided on where you are getting you Forgeline wheels from?? Still trying to figure that out as well.

[T toney]

I have been talking with Frank at Prodigy Customs about the Forgeline's. He's a pro when it comes to the backspacing, I would definately start with him. The black vinyl top is throwing off my wheel selection a bit, but I cant really afford to repaint right now. Good luck. 67rally has been doing some sweet photoshop work to help out with the selection. I think I owe him a beer or something!

[67rally]

Here's one to hold you over for now. Still trying to find a pic of Larry's car at the right angle for the wheels.





Alright, this one's a little better...
