I've searched this forum and also looked up Google but haven't found wheels for our restomod project that is nearing completion. Not looking for torque thrusts or any American Racing, some wheels that you just don't see everyday. I've lifted a couple pics off the 'net but I cannot identify them. Can you help? Or what did you install on yours? Thx
Elwood and Torinodude - very nice, thx for posting. Do you have a Torino fastback? Very underrated car! 429??
Tom - I believe you are right about the first car, appears to be a Z06 wheel. Going to look into sizes and see if this will fit.
Schott wheels look great. Afraid to ask price for custom wheels, dont really want to spend $1000 ea.
Hey Steve. Are you using the stock frame or aftermarket? I measured all four corners on my factory frame as one side was a little different than the other. I used this wheel simulator and picked up several tire sizes from my local discount tire to try out.

Stock frame and suspension. The car currently has 15" aftermarket wheels and I like the stance, if I increase the size of the wheel, I will try to keep the overall dimension of the tire very close to what it is. Great idea on the wheel simulator!
Thanks for your help.
When it comes to wheels budget is always going to be an issue. If you want to spend under 1K apiece forget Forgeline even though you get what you pay for. Try looking at some of the billet wheel sites like Budnik and Billett Specialties. Also keep in mind you can very much change the look of just about any wheel by doing a custom finish like painting or powder coating.
Here's some wheels from Billet Specialties.
These wheels are all built to your specs. You pick the diameter, width, and finish.
Good luck in what ever you chose.

Keep the responses coming, thanks!
Hey my pleasure nice to see someone on this site who does not want to keep 100mph tires , please do not tell me you are still running points and want to know how to take the radiator cap off and where to get a water pump rebuild kit. lol The rims were not too bad about 380 each and it all balanced up perfect . Had the car up to 145 the other night but the thought of all the bolts on my car i found loose made me decide to slow down, i never saw so many bolts that had about 10lbs of torque on them , i don't think the wheels had more then 20 . Yes i did have a 71 torino cobra with the 429scj , ran really good after i knocked it out too 545, looked all original but ran like a politician toward a bag of cash.
