Only thing is they come as 18" and up and I want to stay in the 16 & 17" range.

ehh…FM/5s …hehe

i know they are $$$$…but im goin for some FM/5s or some Iforged Aeros.

as i said on wnyfbody, and its just my opinion, cragers and TT2s, are way overplayed and it hurts my eyes to see a car with such great potential to stand out get those same, same…same, same same…same rims that are the same.

> Dont buy HRE’s, the finish SUCKS, the wheels are weak and any abuse to them will likely crack/shatter them. The wheels on the mule (the grey camaro you posted) look great. If you’re budgeting $2000 for a GOOD set of wheels and dont want to spend the $3000-$4000 required for Kinesis/Fikse, I would check out CCW. I’ve dealt with John before and not only are his wheels strong/light, the prices are great for that type of wheel.

The downfall to their 505a is that it is 18" and larger. I want to get 16 & 17"

Honestly, bigger wheels on an older muscle car look so hot. It’s one of the things that was missing from them stock. big and tucked…Mmmmm foose style

20’s on a muscle car makes baby jesus cry. A set of 16’s is plenty, the car probably came with 14’s stock.

I like oldschool rally wheels with trim rings…

I don’t want to go any larger than 17 in back and 16 in front. It will have a slight rake in front with the wheels slightly tucked in the wheel wells.

gray '69 looks good with those wheels, but the design is pretty plain IMO.
