12" wide wheels

It's still in the back of my mind....I'm looking for 12" wide wheels which won't break the bank. Preferably 18's.

Anyone have any leads?

Speak to Scott at Team III, or maybe Vintage Wheel Works....but your not going to find an 18x 12 with custom backspace for less than $700 each as the hoops have to be fabbed.

Try looking up CCW Wheels. I bought some for my 1970 restomod project and they're going to look great! The CCW Classics come in 18" wheels that are all the way up to 16" wide.

Hi Stinger12,

Coys has some 20x12 but they don't show any 18"x12" on their site.

18x12 is very popular on the rear of mini tubed "pro-touring" muscle cars. You might try going over to www.lateral-g.net or www.pro-touring.com and looking around for some leads on supporting vendors or used wheels. Once you get past 10" wide as Nick mentioned the hoops get expensive.

Hey Brent. I'm just testing the waters right now before I send out my current rims for recutting...they'll turn them on a lathe and machine the faces for me to look like new.

However , if I'm able to find some at a reasonable price I might opt to just buy a new setup...so far it isn't looking to promising ...

Just a thought to keep the price reasonable.
