Does any one know if they make them in 17X11 ?

They can custom make them in that size, but it's considerably higher than what they normally make. I was quoted $2,120.00 for 18x10 and 18x12's.

Borrowing the thread, hope itīs ok.

Just bought four 17x10" Smoothie 2, got some tires fitted and tried them on the car today. I was very surprised when I noticed that the valves are on the inside and they hit the brakes when turning the wheel. Of course it looks nicer having them on the inside but wtf, if I have to grind down the calipers to fit them itīs not worth it...

Is there a standard solution for this? Are the valves always on the inside on these rims or did I get screwed when I bought them and they are som cheapo chinese copy or an odd set of some sort?? Searched for valves with a bend om them thus getting more clearance but I only found those for bikes and ATV:s, not for cars. Do they exist?

Edit: Car is a -99 Trans Am

I'm pretty sure the Boyd Coddington wheels have the valve stems on the outside of the wheel; at least all the ones I've seen have. Are you sure they are true Boyd Coddington wheels?

Get some Gorilla Automotive flush mount valve stems #VS406C

I've run them on my SSR wheels for years.

I purchase some smoothie 3's last year. However I'd probably go direct to billetwheel.com. Chris Coddington is producing the new version of the smoothies. I would not go to boydconddingusa.com, this is boyd jr's company and was having some issues last year. My originally came from Genuine Boyds (Boyd Jr) and one of the wheels wouldn't balance and I never could get a hold of Boyd Jr but Chris stepped up and helped me out.

The smoothie 3 center section around the hub is has a different design. Here are pics on my TA







My boyds also have the valve stems on the inside however they point to the inside of the car to help with clearance. But I also have 18's

i was looking for tt2s but man the smoothies look bad ***....love the lip on them...doe the smoothies come in the rite offset for a ws6 or camaro?

All of the Boyds wheels have the valve stems on the inside because everyone wanted the smooth, uncluttered outer lip. You can try to find the stems with the very short stem but they are very hard to find. Probably your easiest bet would be to get the flush mount stems with the small screw in extension for when you need to fill them up, trouble is, you can't just whip into the gas station to air up the tires. Give up on trying to get ahold of Boyd Jr, he is gone way underground and never returned anybodies calls. I am sure Chris is getting tired of fixing his screw-ups.

^^^ Considerably higher than tt2s. I love the smoothie 3s but can't afford them lol. It is such a clean wheel, perfect for f-bodies.

I looked into getting a set of the Smoothie II wheels; like them better than the new Smoothie III's. I was quoted from Boyd $510.00 for 1 18x10 and $550 for 1 18x12, so a total of $2,120.00.

damn, those look sexy on your t/a. im keeping those in mind when i buy some new wheels
