Poll: Which wheels?

[PsYcHo GN]

Here's the wheels you need .Contact Wheels@chipfoose.com for inquiry of pricing and sizes. Wish I knew how to enlarge pic as I was lucky to even get pic from the Foose site.

Foose wheels are made by MHT. You can check out the wheel here.



I thought about purchasing these wheels, but they were not yet available when I purchased my wheels.

What wheels did you end up getting?

 

[RobsIron]

Hey nero I like all of your choices. I prefer 5 spoke wheels.

I like a polished wheel over chrome. Chromed aluminum just doesn't last.

Here is a American Racing TrakStar. Thought about getting a set for my Chevelle and decided to go with M/T Drag wheels instead.

Nice wheel and different..kind of a new school look of the old school Torque Thrusts...and not everybody has a set...

Can you post a pick of the 69....

What wheels did you end up getting?

I ended up purchasing some 19" Axis Pentas to be unique.

I also have my welds with M/T drag radials for the track.

No pics with the M/T's yet..

That's exactly what I'm looking for!!! Maybe a slightly darker gray, but that can be changed.... worse case scenario, I'll go with the link you posted earlier(wheelsforless.com) and have the chrome spokes stripped and pc'd!!!

Tremendous help, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. American Racing: Official Manufacturer Website- custom, chrome, polished and painted wheels Click on Vintage.

BTW, Bishir has these on his GN.

Now the only question is 17s vs 18s... the price difference on the wheelsforless website is marginal (about 50 bucks per wheel) it's all about the look and stance now... If your car is wearing 17s or 18s, post a pic!!

Thanks,
nero

Who's car is this? I'd like to send a PM about what BS and suspension setup was used to achieve that stance.

Thanks...

You may want to check out this article about Rick Elam and Heath Elmer. One has 17" wheels, while the other has 18" wheels. The stance is perfect of both of these cars.

Heres my car...the Heath Elmer one with 18's.

I say 18's.

That is one sweet a$$ ride.

What are the wheel/tire specs? How was it lowered?

I second those questions!!! Just read the article, the other car said his rode much better with 17s (and thus reverted back to them) anyone can vouch for this? The stance is killer on both so if it comes down to ride quality (being that mine is driven daily) I'd have to go with one over the other...

thanksssssssssssssss

HOT link and HOT pix!!!

Wheel sizes: Front 18x9.5 w/ 265-35-18 BFG G-Force
Rear 18x10.5 w/ 295-35-18 BFG G-Force

The rear frame is notched 1" and the GNX flares help. Probably step up to 305 or 315/30 drag radials soon.

Now my car is only 3100 lbs so its gonna ride rougher. Heath only drove it a little over a 100 miles. 18's will ride better on a 3600 lb car..plus my front springs are cut.

I drive this everyday. Lowered and 24's..rides like a stagecoach..Gotta pay a price if you wanna be a pimp.

Go wid the 18's.

Nice 69 like the triple black no stripes,vinyl roof and fact it has a 427, was hoping you had the MT'Ss on her. Thanks for posting. Some very nice IRON, The shortened springs up front drop the GN -X's frontend just enough for that aggresive and intimidating stance., like a black panther ready to pounce on it's prey another kill, a nice setup not too PIMPED-OUT ...More like Overhaulin then Pimp my ride. Now your StageCoach is Pimp.

PsYcHo GN those 19" Axiss change the look your of ride like night and day. Like the Night look of the Axis wheels.You have an awesome car too. Man you guys have such nice cars they make mine look like a junker, ho hum lookin..........

 

[RobsIron]

Thanks Chavo. Your descriptions are right on.

I meant to comment on PsYcHo GN earlier. It looks great! Big difference between the two. I don't like Welds that much, but they look great on there! Weld should use that pic for advertising. Very Nice!

Ha! No..no paint. My car is not in that article. They just talked about it. Mine was Heaths first car. The Black and Silver was his second.

My car is pretty much the poster child for the Simmons wheels and the pro lowered big wheel look.


Heres mine in the first article..May 2000 GMHTP.
