After about 5 week my new wheels arrived Tuesday. I had ordered the tires 3 months ago and left them to cure up a little before the install.
A HUGE thanks to Scott at Team III for spending tons of time with me getting the specs absolutely spot on with all of the measurements. I have built tons of 2/3 piece wheels over the years for my cars and have never had a company spend as much time getting the setup right like he did. I could not be more pleased.
Specs are:
Front
17" X 9.5"
275/40/17 Nitto NT05
Rear
17" X 11"
315/35/17 Nitto NT05
Onto the pics:
Front Mounted
Rear Mounted
All done at the shop
Rear offset
Front offset had rubbing issues with the other wheels which was cured
And a walk around video. High idle as it is unusually cold here.
Great choice, I've heard the same thing about their dedication to getting it right for the customer. I am seriously looking at a different wheel from them for next spring. I just wish they would put a deal together like they have for the Cobras.
You vette looks fantastic.

They are great people, we worked on the setup through several phone conversations over a couple weeks. I know he is busy, but really proud to have his wheels on my car.

Exactly what I was after for the car, period correct.
Your '69 is a beauty! I love the look the flares and wide wheels and tires give the car! The 17" wheels also give quite a bit of tire sidewall and nails the old school road racer look.
Are those the 2" flares on your car? Is the car still using the factory trailing arms?
LTIII's, good choice. When I bought my first set the 17x11's could be had for $355/wheel. It was a killer deal, but the price went up before I bought my second set.
I got mine a month ago. Mine where made to match the stock YJ8 Aluminum Wheel for 78 18x8
Very happy with the wheel. Only problem I had they where out of stock of the center pieces, and it took 7 weeks to get my wheels. It didn't matter since the car as getting a new ZZ383 during this time.
