Where can I find these rims?
« on: September 02, 2010 - 01:24:21 PM »
I've taken my '70 cuda to 2 different local tire shops in Lynnwood/Everett, WA area and nobody has rims that will fit my ride.  Can anybody help me to find where I can buy rims like or similar to these?  I'm looking for black rims with a chromed deep dish, low profile tires.

Those are going to be very high dollar custom one-off wheels on that car.  You arn't going to find them at a tire shop.  Let us know if you find something similar.  Good luck.

I live in Brier and I can tell you when I was looking for low profile tires the selection locally for my Ebody was very limited.  I came to the conclusion I had to get them online.  I finally settled on some rims made by Craiger that were 225X17X8 and 275X17X10 for the rears.  Those were ordered online and shipped to my Inlaws to save on taxes.  As posted by Brads70 I think your looking at a custom order.  They are very attractive rims though.
