I'm looking at these and could have them in 3 weeks if I want them. Boze Mesh (http://www.bozeforged.com/mesh.html)
I would have these in a high polish and clearcoated. What do you guys think?

Wow, look look exactly like these:

You should call up forgeline and compare prices...

I think they would look great on your car. However I would go with a polished lip and a silver painted center. Given the bright color of your car I feel a slighly toned-down look on the wheel would be better. It would also "toughen up" the look of the car over an all polished wheel.

Just my .02 :)

Hey Steve I was thinking the same thing on the painted center matching the rally stripes on the car. I may enlist a buddy to photochop this for me and see what it might look like. The boze wheels are $2750 for what I want, and the Forgeline wheels are about 4k.

I was quoted $2750 for 4 18 inch wheels polished and clearcoated. This includes custom backspacing as well. That was for the 2 piece wheels, the 3 piece was $3350 or so. The only difference between the two was the 3 piece was a little lighter.

The true benefit of a three piece wheel is if there's ever damage then it can easily be fixed. Also, as in my case, it's easy to change the offset of the wheel by replacing one of the hoops.

As for the color you really should do the painted center. For one it's cheaper and it will also set you apart from the crowd (and look better).

You trusted me on paint color.. trust me now.. lol

I agree with the painted centers, your car is very "showie" at the moment and the painted centers would tone it down a bit and give it a badass side.

There are pics of the Danica Patrick Camaro on the Boze site. I think it has the "Pro Touring" wheel. It would give you some kind of idea how the "mesh" wheel with a lighter color spoke would look on a 67 or 68 vs. the darker spoke on Penny. I saw Penny years ago and it looks awesome with those wheels. I looked at the Boze and the Forgeline for my car. Frank at Prodigy sold me on the Forgelines. I have a set of VR3ps. The quality is second to none. Call Frank!

Yea, try for some pricing from Frank as well. I know that you can get some good discounts on these if you try.

Just ask Bill Howell what kind of deal he got on his Forgelines.. lol

And yes, Penny did have the silver wheels at one time. The previous owner (who I'm thinking is less smart that I originally though) painted the centers the current grey color. Forgeline let me know yesterday that when the guy took apart the wheel he re-assembled them and torqued the perimeter bolts (that hold the wheels together) FIVE TIMES what they should be.

Now I need all new bolts since they were overstressed to the point of failure. Thank God Forgeline is helping me out since the math is scary. How many of those special bolts are on a set of 4 wheels? I guess around 80. Even at a few bucks each that's serious coin.

Sorry, had to vent.

Silver centers.. come on, you know you want them :)

Ill call Frank or e-mail him. Frank's doing my supercharger mock up and build, so he's a good one to call. I talked to your guy as well at Forgeline and Ill talk to Frank as well about the boze. I like both Wheels so it comes down to price and time to be built. Boze can do it quicker right now. Yeah my friend is working on the wheel on my car to see what it looks like. Ill post it when he's done, but I do agree on the silver centers.

Here is a great option for ya. I like the center around the lugs a lot better. I can set you up with these 3 piece in 8.5 and 9.5 width (guessing)? for $3200 I also can set them up with TOYO T1Rs for a good price and FREE mounting and balanceing (about a $100 to $150 value on this type wheels). It's pretty cool when they show up ready to bolt on and you don't have to worry about the tire shop killing your $3K to $5K rims!

As far as time to build, let me handle that. We sell enough now, I have a way of buting to the front of the Forgeline production schedule.

You can get the WC3's like Penny has now with a rolled lip instead of the older style. That's what they are doing to mine right now.

lol.. at the Forgeline pressure.. sorry..

Them or the Boze would look killer.. in silver ;)

any luck on the photoshop deal?

No problem on the pressure. Ill chat with Frank as well next week after the holidays. My friend was too drunk the past couple of days to do the artwork correctly. I have to catch him between drinks I guess. Ill have it as soon as he sobers up. :lol:
