I think that BC and Chip Foose have some of the nicest wheels in the industry. Good choice. :cool: :thumbs:

Get them dude!!

Crash Dummy

Pat...

Do they also take special tires and how much? $1000 for rims is a bunch, but Boyd's are seriously fine.

[QUOTE] ....the wife almost crapped when i said they were 1000.00........[QUOTE]

Mate....you didn't tell her before you bought them, did ya????? No, no ,no...you charge it to the credit card first, then when she finds out and tells you off, you say: ".....but honey.....I don't think we should be paying for ALL of the kids' college tuition...." She can't argue with that......

What are you waiting for....go buy 'em.......those wheels are :cool:

Pat, 1000 isn't too bad. I just ordered mine and it was 1300 at the local tire shop.
Those are really cool. For tires, check out the Kumho Ecsta MX. These are really cheap and super sticky. That is what I am going with and a lot of the C5 guys are running them.

Brutus

Pat...they are a similar wheel to what I've had on my Holden Vectra for the past few years. Look great but a bugger to keep clean.
Btw, never let matrimony and money come between you and your missus.....the Vette should win every time. :D

PatsLs1vette

stand up- i usually do thats how i got my flares and fuel injectors this week
jeff-ill take a look into them todaythanks
brutus-when your working on your second marriage you try and keep them happy,cause i cant afford a third :D
im going to carlisle on the 23rd ill wait till after that then order them,plus i want to get a flare mounted first to make sure 11's wont be too wide.

mrvette

Hummm...11's in the rear eh??? hope you got those offsets under controll there, going to be mean looking ok, that's for sure.....I found Nitto makes some decent tires happy withmine...but they are only 275/50/17 and not 315 which you need....would do for up front though....about 180 each at Discount tire....

GENE

PatsLs1vette

gene im not positive on the 11's yet i need to get the flares mounted first then measure and figure what backspace i need.

Jughead

They look good Pat! I agree though that they'd be tough to keep clean. $250 a wheel is a pretty good price though. I paid $210 a wheel for TT2's 16x8. I think the 17's are around $300! :eek:

Yeah, my wifed crapped on me too when she discovered a shipment of parts yesterday! :cuss
I've learned to not ask for permission----if I did I probably wouldn't have the Vette I have today. I order the parts, never say I got new stuff, then try to diffuse the situation when they're discovered. The Vette is a constant topic of disagreement. :cuss :nono:

Excellent choice pat :) I really like those wheels.

76Frankenstein

Very :cool: . I like most boyds - was thinkin about these - but maybe too obvious a choice? http://shop.sportruck.com/bcodd/stingray.htm

patsnitrovette - are you bringing your vette or a parts hauler? I'd love a chance to check out your vette in person. :cheers:

PatsLs1vette

I just looked on Centerline's website and they have tons of billet wheels they are selling as overstock. I bought mine from Summit several months ago.

PatsLs1vette

hek mike they look nice,you have any side shots with them mounted yet?

Jack71

Pat,
They will look awesome on your car. Can't wait to see them man...

79VetteMike

Here is a pic, but it is right after I rebuilt the back suspension. It still sits high and the hood isn't back on in the pic, but you get the idea. I really still want 17's.
