I have been browsing around looking at all different wheels and I am looking to see what anyone has on their Oldsmobile or A body for some comparision. I am not sure what size to even look for. Am thinking something like a 17 or 18. This would be for a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Just put in Hotchkis one lowering springs all around with bilstein shocks and hotchkis sways front and rear. The car is covert beige with brown top so this probably means i will be going with a polished wheel. Input please. :bow:

Lets see some! :D

Mine before the suspension..

I am partial to my Rushforths Wheels!!!! Search for post Whiplash or look for post Not rated x and those are my wheels for my 72 chevelle. I will post some pics this coming week for you guys!!! Jon @ Driverz Inc can set you up with a Great package and spec them to your car. Now if you don't like them there is Boze,Forgedline,Fiske see Frank from Prodigy if you like them along with his 6 million parts I know he can get his hands on your car. Both GREAT GUYS and Both VENDORS ( great prices and great products not to mention TOP NOTCH customer service!!!!)

Thanks for that! We're partial to them too!

Just in case you haven't searched the wheel threads, here's a GTO we just put wheels on http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=18752 and while it isn't an Olds, it gives you a good idea of how these wheels and sizes may fill out your wheelwells since they're the same cars underneath and similarly shaped wheelwell openings. Check the website www.RushforthWheels.com for all our wheels and tons of shots of them on cars and drop a line anytime if you have any questions. Choose carefully because wheels and stance are everything!

No wheels on mine yet, but I'll be running aftermarket 18" Corvette wheels with C6 Z06 brakes.

I like your Cutlass! Then again, I am a bit partial!

Shiny Side Up!

I had a guy on Pro-touring.com put a deposit down on a set of Rushforths due to seeing my wheels/post :woot: makes me feel so good inside knowing I have had a impact on someone in this community. The VENDORS on here along other sites I visit (pro-touring,chevelles.com,ls1tech) are all top notch in my book and rather spend money with them then anyone else ask Frank and Jon they got my money :lol: (money Well spent in my book!!!!)Don't forget Mark at SP&C for suspension mods on A-Bodies!!!!!!

If i was going to look into 17s or 18s how large could i go front and rear? What backspacing would I be trying to get? No pics of A bodys? So hard to decide what I want. Kinda really like 5 spokes but I dont have big brakes or anything.. Dont want anything to busy.

Anyone here at all run a Boze force wheel? I kinda like how it has similar characteristics to the stock SSII wheels. Any pricing info?:cheers:

I noticed you were looking for our new Force wheel. I just finished up a set last week that we did a two toned brushed/polished finish. See attached pics.

Thanks for the response. I really like the way that wheel looks. :thumbsup: Would it be possible to get the inserts done in brown to look like my stock SS wheels? Pricing? Thanks

Sure we can powder coat the insert any color you would like.
