A few ?'s Wilwoods & Forged/Billet wheels
 
I am ready to pull the trigger on a Set of Wilwoods and thought there is a member on PT that works there, Or do you guys know who has the best deal on them..A vendor perhaps..

I am also wanting to get a set of forged/billet wheels..Same question as above..Whos got the hook up? I am open to all of the mfgr's

Thanks in advance!

I also just painted my truck GM cyber metalliv gray, and put a 03 front end on it..pics soon!

Check with Blownchevy for wilwoods and personally I think its hard to beat Centerline for forged wheels if you like any of their designs.

Ok, thanks I will check with Brian...Isnt there a member on here that works for Wilwood with "Hawaiian" or "Somoan" in his screen name.. I may end up with Centerlines, I have had them before..But I really wanted some Intros or Iforged..

Im a cheap ass so I never seriously considered those wheels. Not enough gain in looks or performance over the Centerlines to justify the cost IMO. I think the samoan dude is the one that works for them.

+1 For Centerlines. I picked mine up used but they are cleaning up quite nicely. Will let you know how they do at the track here in a week or so

I hear you on the cost! But alot of them offer layaway and I have been getting subsistance checks for $420 a week and saving them, So I wanted to make a few large/last purchases

I found a guy near me on Cragislist that was selling 4 17" Centerlines for dirt cheap. I picked them all up for $180. They need some more TLC but still a good deal. This is one rim that I got cleaned up to about 60%.

I didn't want to go to a bigger rim cause I was looking for something to drop weight :)

I just plasti-diped them all for now till I have more time to wet sand them and really get them to where I want them

I didn't get them from him but dealt with him when I was rebuilding/swapping the brakes from one truck to the other and he was very helpful.
