This car has one of the best stance and looks i know and i think these wheels would look really nice in silver car too. What do you think ?

If you have any ideas where to ask good deal of these too ?

Those are Forgeline VR3P's, I recently purchased a set of 19's/20's for my car. Let me be the first to tell you that they are one of the nicest wheels I have seen, but they don't come cheap! Best deal on Forgelines would be through Frank Sarafin at Prodigy Customs/GP Superstore. Here is a couple pics of my wheels so you can get an idea of what all chrome looks like. Hope this helps :thumbsup:

Thanks ZZ3ElCamino !!!!!!!!!!!!

Your wheels looks like out of modern art museum:hail:

I am sure those wont come cheap but i have had a set of "good" billet wheels.. This i want wheels wich are strong and race quality.

Do you have any idea of the "reverse lip" or "fat lip" desing of those wheels? Is it strong enough for road racing ?

Looks like its Frank every time when i asking good deals:cheers: !!!

Bowtieracing, Forgeline actually just released a new series of wheel. I guess they call it their "Street Series", these have the regular solid 6061-T6 solid spun lip (http://www.forgeline.com/wheels/vr3s.html) which appears to be the same as their "Race Series" wheels. This may be more along the lines of something you might want if, you intend to beat that sh*t out of them at the track :D As far as strength of the "fatlip" designs, they are also solid 6061-T6 spun hoops just like the race series, so they probably have the close to the same strength as the other two. I am going for looks so I dig the fat lip design! Give Frank a call, I am sure he wouldn't have any problem talking cars with you. :D

Jason this was good news :cheers: I got little paranoid after battle with last set of wheels so i want to be sure. And yes i will give Frank a call after i found out the correct backspacings from DSE. :thumbsup:

I am a bit partial to the VR3 wheels, those are by far my favorite! I think 335/XX-19 tires are pretty slim pickin's, if there is even one out there. May have to go with an 18. I know Toyo just came out with a new tire, it is the Proxes R888. Steve Rupp is running them on "Bad Penny". If you do end up going with Toyos you can order then mounted and balanced from Frank. That is what I did, and man did it save some hassle.

You are right. I want some rubber on the wheel too :lol:
I have a notes somewhere what were the tires in the camaro i post a pic in a first post. I am looking fronts in size 285 for 10" wheel but have no idea of the profil. I am waiting to see what others come up.

[ZZ3ElCamino]

285 is what i am running for my rear tire :lol: I need a car that I can mini-tub :D

Man.....I wish I could drop 4K plus on some wheels right now......those are SICK...:hail:

The black car belongs to one of our customers, Vance Wheeler. You can use a 345 / 30 /19 on those 19s and have the biggest, baddest tire of all in the Pro Touring market. This is what we are running on Lisa's EmptyNest.

As Jason said, We have a deal with Forgeline to mount and balance wheel tire packages so you do not have to worry about a $8 hour kid at Discount tire scratching your new killer rims. We can do the 345s and 285s in Michelin PS2, which are the best. We can help out with aspect ratio and back space. We have done many sets so we know the backspacing by heart.

[Bowtieracing]

Oh just my luck!! I thought they were 18"...

345s dont ever fit in 69 with just minitubs and offset leafs:(

Frank, that wheel combo is totally AWSOME!!!!!

[ProdigyCustoms]

Don't want to confuse you. Vance car (the black car) has 335 / 30 / 18s on it. It is lisa's car, Project EmptyNest getting the bigger 19s. And you are correct, they will not fit with leaf springs. She is getting a Air Bar
