Default Privat Profils Sitting at Home

I had to post, I can't take it anymore. My 18x9.5 Privat profils showed up this morning and I am stuck at work. UPS tracking said they were delivered at 9am. If I had known they were going to show up at 9 I would have taken off.

Anyway, I have to thank Kevin at Discount Tire Direct for hooking me up and for putting up with all my phone calls. Thanks

O yeah I will post some pics when I get them on the car.

Congrats, they are a nice wheel, a friend of mine has them on his SS, they are sweet looking. We are thinking about them for my wifes Trans Am (18x9.5 as well), we are stuck between them and possibly getting the BC-10 in a 17x9.5 & 17x11, but we aren't sure yet. I kind of hate 17's now, the damn sidewalls look too tall, I got used to my 18's

You're going to love them!!!! Go HOME!!!!!!!!!!

I am leaving at 3. I just have to hope that he rain holds out. Just curious where can I find the BC-10 rim.

It's a Boyd wheel made by the Boyd Jr. They were the older style, but here's a pic....



Discount Tire can order them. I LOVE the BC-10, it will rock on my wifes TA, but I am not a huge fan anymore of 17" wheels, the 315 is the only that is keeping me interested in the deal

More wheels can be found at www.billetwheel.com

oh yeah, I agree with you 100%. Those rims definitely belong on a TA.

I think they run $500 or so per wheel, but I am getting a deal that I can't say

They are amazing, we are '95% sure we will get the BC-10, but the offset the wheels have are my concern, they are around 46mm or 45mm, can't remember, so they will be right at the edge of a Trans Am fender, too far for a Camaro fender. I had 50mm 17x11 ZR1's on my SS, and they were right at the edge, so I may get a test fit before we buy them, but they will make her car look better than mine

I have them.

You can no longer order BC Forged wheels. They have closed up shop. Boyd Coddington now builds the wheels now. They are pretty much the same.

If you call and ask, they will say they always have been made at Boyd, but it's BS.

I've got a set of their now "Tuned" wheel. 18x9 fronts, 18x10 rears w/ 275/35/18 fronts, and 295/35/18 rears.

I'm in the process of Zoop Sealing them as we speak. I'll mount them up tomorrow, and grab some pics at a car show taking over Manchester tomorrow


I was hoping to be the only one with them, at least for awhile

These are a set that was ordered and the deal fell through, so they are available for me They are 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear, pricey wheels but OH SO NICE

Please post pics when you can, what offset rear did you get?

Welp, I've been cleaning them with the zoop cleaner, and I just noticed ONE IS BENT!

I'm ready to head out to Boyds garage with Mossberg in hand, I'M PISSED.

I wish I had noticed it before I started using these expensive cleaners. I've just mixed the "zoop" and its only good for 4 days after mixed. Which means that's 130 bucks down the drain.
