      Trying to narrow wheel options

      I'm trying to narrow my wheel options for my 68 Camaro. I want to run 335/35/17 in the rear, but 17x13 wheels are too d*mn expensive for my budget. Since I can get by with 11" wide rims, that will help a lot. I've seen a couple styles I like that are not the typical TTII's etc. Two options are from the Boyd Coddington line and the other is a nostalgic Trans Am style wheel. What would you vote for? I am almost 100% set on gunmetal gray metalic for the paint.

      Thanks!

      Thanks so far for the comments. I guess I should have made it a little clearer on the descriptions. The one on the left is the minilite, middle is the Blaster and right is the Signature.

      Right now, I'm thinking that no matter which wheel I choose I'll powder coat the centers to match the car-if that has any bearing on the suggestions.

      So far, the minilite is in the lead!

      I like the nostalgic trans am wheel on the far left. The gray centers look good. There is a blue 69 on Team III's web site that has the wheels on it.

      Depends on the look you are shooting for. If you want retro, the ones on the left. If you want today's PT, the one on the right looks pretty cool.

      Right now I'm looking at $350-$400/wheel. $1400-$1600/set is a lot better than $2300+ that I was finding when looking at 17x13.

      minilites all the way.

      it says Hardcore, serious and no monkey business. they look awesome on everything, and arent that common on camaros. You cant lose.

      and they're cost effective too.

      I like the blasters with the idea of them being a flat or semigloss gunmetal color. The Minilites would be a close second since I've only seen two other cars wearing them and they say Trans Am Series throwback.
