My new wheels just arrived!!! Wow, i have been waiting all day for the UPS man to drop these off! The slightest sound of a truck outside and i was at the window like a dog patrolling the neighborhood. LOL.
Anyhow the new wheels are Intro Gt Sports, 18x9-18x10 combo. They'll be getting wrapped in 275-295 BFG KDW's w/ DR's out back. These wheels are beautiful! Pictures dont do them justice. The polished finish on these absolutely BLOWS my old Boyd Coddingtons out of the water! No comparison.
I just got back from dropping them off at my local Discount to get them mounted and balanced. I hope to get some pictures of them on the car soon... The weather is absolute **** right now in Chicago, and will be for the rest of the weekend. Until then... Heres a few->

I almost bought those same wheels last year but decided to go with my Budniks.I might get a set of those.Way cheaper than I forged.Do you have any pics of the rear lips and how deep they are? Thanks.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I just got them back, and put on the car. I'll get pictures soon...
To answer some questions-
FH212- Budniks were also a choice of mine as well. Along w/ CCW, Fikse, and another set of Boyds. I always wanted these wheels ever since i seen the Iforged version on NA$TY's car some years back. Lips are 2.5" out back and about 2" up front.
TRILOGYZ28- $2080 shipped.
bad6as- Reverse that. Intro is the mother company. Thats what the "I" in Iforged stands for.
FNQUIKWS6- Thanks man! See price above. Yes, they can be cut w/o rivets. Lets just say i ended up w/ some free rivets...
Thanks again guys! Pics to come soon...

These pictures suck *** IMO. Theres no sun here in Chicago, rain and clouds. My car has been sitting underneath a cover since last November, needs a good wash and wax.
Rain check on better pictures, on a better day...

Nice choice, I had one of the very first sets of those made, about 2 yrs ago on my '69 Camaro. www.ExtremeG.net
get some zoopseal to protect them, those polished wheels SUCK for cars that get driven, and they will oxidize just sitting there.

Your '69 looks great Tony! You were 1 of the 4 members here that i found that had these wheels.
I'll have to check out the Zoopseal. Where do you get that stuff from? Anything has to be better than my old Boyds. When they first arrived their finish was hazy from the get go. These are much more chrome like. Hard to tell from the pics though.
Thanks again guys!
