18" wheels with old school race car styling

[joeelutz]

I'm building a 67 Camaro with a build style that is similar to the street fighter look. Basically it will be a modern interpretation of a vintage Trans-Am race car. Anyway, for the wheels, I would like to go with some 18's that have that vintage "look" I've seen some wheels that look like Torque thrust Americans with a flat, bolt on center cap that I believe takes 5 bolts to hold it on. The center cap is completely flat with no dome shape to it. Anyone know what I'm talking about or did I just dream this? I'm open to wheel suggestions. I like a dark grey or black powder coated center with a brighter chrome or polished outer rim.

I love my Vintage Wheel Works V48s, but they only go up to a 17". They have the TT style you mentioned in an 18" though...http://www.vintagewheelworks.com/products/wheels

NOGO,

Your deuce is sharp! The wheels look similar to the New gen lites.
I have a 67 Nova that is next on the personal projects list, but with so many customer cars coming in, its hard to find time for personal projects.

Even though I'm typically not a big fan of Tq thrust since it seems like everyone and their brother has them, this is somewhat the look I had in mind.

Awesome, who makes these, how much, and what sizes are available? Looking for a 17x8 and 18x10 or even better an 18x12

[PTS]

These are private labeled manufactured for us here in the U.S.A. by a reputable manufactuer and not overseas. We can do 17x8, 18x10, and 18x12 no problem. We are in final stages of pricing the wheel and it will be competitive. I will let you know ASAP on the pricing...

Thanks, I think I have found my wheel if the pricing works out. Not to thread jack.

Love the gold but will probably go with a grey or flat black. What will the finish options be, powdercoat, paint, brushed, polished?

[LowFast]

What ever happened with these, are they available? Pricing?

Another member in the site machines some cool cover plates for the TT2 wheels, I think the business was something like RadCaps or similar, he has a red vintage Firebird IIRC.

Thanks! Glad you like! We're making these out of a 6061 forged center too, not a cast center so we have the luxury of machining the centers to fit ANY brake combo, any offset, and center bore. So 6 piston Baer? Sure, bring it on....

Do you have a picture of these with a knockoff center?

[JustinB]

Can not get more vintage Tran Am than the NewGen Lites!

3 piece

2 Piece


If you are looking for something a little more traditional 5 spoke-ish check you the Thrasher, Splitter, and 500.

I love that 2 piece minilite!
