DriverzInc: Pics of New Gen Lite on my 69 Camaro

[JustinB]

Finally got the new New Gen Lite wheels mounted up with a new set of Wilwood W6A and W4A brakes. Wheels are 19x8 and 19x10's with a 245/35/19 and 275/40/19 rear. Before everyone all worked up, the 4" cowl hood is on its way out.

Dude, those look fantastic. :thumbsup:

[98ssnova]

I like these wheels but will they have a center cap? also will there be a 20" wheel

[DriverzInc]

They are available in 15-22's, in soft lip or step lip. They are custom built.

We are finalizing the cap. It will be a flat cap, to match the race like design. I don't mind the way they look without a cap though either. :)

[Cris@JCG]

Was waiting anxiously to see these wheels on a 69 Camaro :thumbsup: I love these wheels & they look correct for a 69 Camaro!!

[gasfumes]

is the rear end narrowed if so what are spec really love the look think i want 19 inch wheels now

[JustinB]

The rear is not narrowed. The rear wheel is a 19x10 with just about a factory rear back space.

Justin, those look KILLER on your car.

Speaking of your car, is there a build thread or a link to find out more about it without asking you 5000 questions? Until the pics you just posted I had never seen it outside of your avatar here. I would like to know more about it. It looks great!

Eric, I never started one. I change things than change things again. Never stops. As of now the car a 600hp big block, TK0 600, 9" rear, SC&C upper and lowers with all Marcus's bells and whistles, DSE rear leafs, Varishocks, Wilwood 14" W6A and W4A brakes, New Gen Lites. Still to come is a new hood, Speed Tech Torque Arm rear, AFR heads, and a couple little changes to the interior.

[Muscle Car PWR]

Bad Ass Car Justin. I Had a '69 in College with a ZZ3 roller cammed small-block, T-10 4-speed, 12-bolt posi, Welds, buckets and a steel cowl hood. It was white with black interior. Had it for about 2 years and sold it. kicking myself in the ass for doing that-miss it alot.

[Rybar]

Wow Justin, those look Killer! :thumbsup:

[Neil B]

I m u s t h a v e...:unibrow:

Yes, you NEED these on your yellow Z.:yes:

[buickfunnycar.com]

Yes, you NEED these on your yellow Z.:yes:

Jon & I were thinking my orange Z:yes: ...but I'm sure they'd find their way on the yellow one too.:unibrow:

[boonedog]

how is pricing on these and what widhts can you make them in?

[69MyWay]

:thumbsup:

[Neil B]

Jon & I were thinking my orange Z:yes: ...but I'm sure they'd find their way on the yellow one too.:unibrow:

I forgot about the orange Z. That would look killer too. Your yellow car just has that perfect stance that would set these wheels off. I'd love to see a set of step-lip 18's.

[buickfunnycar.com]

I'd love to see a set of step-lip 18's.

Give Jon about 2 weeks and you shall see...:unibrow:

After seeing Justin's car,I'd seriously consider 19's (in a step-lip too) ,and yeah I agree...those would look scary on my '69 against that yellow!:willy:

[tones2SS]

WOW!!
Here I am thinking that they were ok, not really a set of wheels I put on my car, but, those look great on there!!! They contrast with the color of the car perfect.
Looks very good.:thumbsup: :cheers:

[Swain]

Nice Car....

Love that color..

[street3285]

Looks good Justin. That color of wheel works great with the color of the car.
:thumbsup:

Forgive me if this is a stupid question. When you say flat cap do you mean a smooth cap like a forgeline/kinesis or a raised flat cap more like a rushforth, or something completely different? Is the cap in "fat bottom camaro"'s rendering similar to what your coming up with?
You guy really nailed it with this design :thumbsup:

Very valid question. We are working with New Gen to develop a cap similar to something you would see on a Forgeline or Kinesis wheel. A domed cap just does not look right on the wheel.

[Steve1968LS2]

Those wheels look really good.. I think you have a winner there! :thumbsup:

[DFRESH]

Justin, home run dude---you can certainly pick em, although you do know the right people! That thing, looking like that, with all the power, better be at EL Toro running the event---You gotta bring it.

Doug

[Vegas69]

I agree....you must run the car with those wheels.

We will be there! Unfortunately for me, the wheels did not improve my driving skills. :lol:

HAWT!!! :cool: :thumbsup:

I am willing to drive your car around the track. :thumbsup:

[D Rock]

Love the big tires out back. Will likely be ordering the same sizes for my 67. Rims look awesome too. :yes: What lugs are those?

Wow thats not what i expected to hear. Should be interesting to see what it looks like.

[Bow Tie 67]

I have never cared for 19's any pics with 18's?

[DriverzInc]

They are long open end hex lugs, in chrome. We sell them for $1.50ea. They are 2" tall. On wheels without a large pad, they will stick out of the wheel about an inch. Like my 67 Nova:

Yeah, the wheel just doesn't look right with a dome cap.... it needs a sunk in flat cap. So, that's what we're doing.

[dlouie87]

what is the back space of the 19x10 in the rear? 5.5''?

[JustinB]

For my app, yes the BS was a 5.5".

[cees67]

awesome friggin wheel !!!

Stopped by and took a look a Justin's wheels. They look really good in person. I see them in my future.

Just curious, why are some of you guys so against cowl hoods? Are they considered more for the drag racing look rather than pro touring? Personally I think your car looks badass with the 4 inch cowl hood Justin, aswell as with the new wheels, nice work! :thumbsup:

Joe.

[trueimport]

The rear is not narrowed. The rear wheel is a 19x10 with just about a factory rear back space.

I know this may seem like a given but I just want to make sure. The rims in the rear are 19x10 with a 5.5 back space? And the car itself does or does not have a mini tube? If not what if any mods did you do to make a 10" wide rim fit aside from rolling the outer lip? I'm only asking becasue I would love to know if you guys think this would fit on a 69 nova.

Hope I answered all your questions today John, without burying you with to much information. I can get a little long winded sometimes!!:thumbsup:

[Flash68]

Those wheels look amazing. Wish they were available last year when I had my car. Great look.

And I say keep the cowl hood just because!

[buickfunnycar.com]

Wish they were available last year when I had my car...

Sounds like set #2 to me...:thumbsup:

[trueimport]

No, Justin you were a big help and I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me and answering what probably seemed to be obvious questions. I guess we are all "new" at some point haha.

Thanks again,
John

I dont know. I personally dont like the large cowl hood. I think it ruins the lines of the great car if its not a needed hood. The camaro has a nice sleek look from the side. And I think the large bump takes away from the lines of the car. Not a good look IMO if there isnt a large mill under there that needs the room. JR

Some before and after pics. Oh, just my messing with the pic, its not really an after pic.

Flat hood's a no-good look...gotta give Justin at least a 2" cowl man,lol.;)

[monza]

I agree a smaller cowl would look great! (Nice Wheels!!)
