Default wheels that fit wilwood 6R/4R brake setup?

I'm installing 13 inch wilwood 6 piston front brake kit. With the 12.19 inch 4 piston rears. And I'm looking for a wheel setup that won't brake the bank. Getting short on cash after the brakes and 9 inch!

I've done some searching but haven't found a solution. And places I've called won't give me a spoke to hub measurment.

What are some ideas? In either 17 or 18. And no chrome. Not a fan of it lol. And pics are always good

Thanks!

From what I have read 18's are a must. I would like to know for sure too though. As for recommendations I would give you some but the ones I would pick would probably be too shiny for you considering what you said above.

I would like to hear what others think and definitely want to see some final pics.

Check out Nineballs website he has a lot to look at. I picked up a set of Forgestars for under $1500 the set.

I have the Baer 14" 6S (front) and the 14" 6P (rear) on my 01 SS. I went with 18x9.5 (front) and 18x11 (rear) CCW SP500's in gloss black. The brakes really fill out the wheels, looks great. I know you said nothing too expensive, and for most these are, but I have no clearance issues and the service was awesome. I purchased the wheels before the brake kits, but told them what I had planned for the future. They knew what worked and what didnt, also guaranteed me that if there was any issue when I bought the brake kits that they would correct it. I would say you could see the pics in the CCW thread, but last I checked, they no longer appeared in the thread.

Cool! I remember seeing yours a while back now. Your post is what made me decide to go that route as opposed to the ctsv or camaro calipers. I haven't bought them yet. But I will when I get ready for new wheels.
