I have a 66 Chevelle that I would like to PT. Question, I would like to put Forgelines on it, I know they are awesome wheels strength-wise, what about some of the other company's wheels; CCW, Rushforth, Intro etc,etc.... This car a BBC and is no featherweight! I live about 50 min from a road course (Hallet) but really the car would be setup for street,w/some trips to the track, don't want anything breaking, you know? Thanks for any help Shawn

I would call Frank at prodigy customs, he can answer all your questions and has great prices on wheels. Forgline was great to deal with and makes both racing and a street versions.

Forgelines are the schiznit if you are looking for a race wheel. Their mounting hats are thicker and they shave off weight on race wheels. I lost 10 lbs per rear wheel with them. Service is spectacular and Frank at Prodigy has the best pricing, period. If your not looking to race, then I really like my Boze wheels as well. Zak at boze wheels is a great guy as well. They have some bitchin wheels.
No problem. All of our centers are rotary forged and carry a lifetime warranty.
Our programmer has many years in the wheel business including a long stint at Alcoa where they do all kinds of testing so he knows exactly what will cause a wheel to fail and programs ours to prevent failure.

Nothing is lighter or stronger then a Forgeline. That is not a sales pitch, it is a fact. With that said, I can also tell you any quality wheel can hold up your 66 Chevelle even if it is a competitors wheels.
