      18" Pro Wheels/ 68 Camaro

      Well after countless hours of looking at wheels I finally pulled the trigger.
      I was close to buying rushforths but they were not in my budget and I still need big brakes. The wheels I bought are from Pro Wheels in CA.
      The wheels are brushed and cleared forged centers and uncoated high polished hoops.

      Measurements
      Front
      8 x 18
      4.875 BS
      235/40/18

      Rear
      9 x 18
      5.25 BS
      255/45/18

      Front has 2" lower springs and 3" lower in the rear + 1/2" blocks
      This site has helped me a lot in my search so I thought I would give back.

      Look really good. the brush center really work with your car color.

      Pro Wheels are by far the best bang for the buck wheel we sell.

      Looks good. I hope they last, I won't be selling them any longer.

      Details huh? How about cracked welds, finishes peeling off - brand new out of the box, and warranty repairs that took 3-4 months?

      wheels look great with the stance. When those tires are ready for replacement, you could go up to a 245 in the front and a 275 in the rear if you choose

      Thanks however they barely fit now and I like the tire to slightly roll in to the rim instead of fatten out.
      As far as the quality from Pro Wheels....I have had these on for about 4 months. I have not had any issues with quality of the wheel or finish. They were a little slow with getting them out but that wasn't a big deal to me.

      Rich thanks for sharing they actually look great! I am all for trying something new. OD you mind sharing how much these go for? I am in CA an planning to get a couple sets for a few projects, and was debating on some BOSS 338's as I see cool wheels out there but keep coming back to the BOSS for the price and quality (similar to Torq, a fraction of the cost). I am not a vendor by the way.

      Thx, Gui
