Smile Wheel Choices for a HOSS ?

Anyone have a Hugger Orange z28/SS that has something other than zr1's or Torque Thrust's or z06 wheels?

I currently have Silver ZR1's and I'm thinking it's getting time to change it.

Let's see some pics !

I am thinking about going with Torq Thrust M's 18 X 10.

Not to jack your thread but how do you know what number SS you have. I would like that info for my car.

I was thinking about some Cragar SS 612's but they are a bit pricey for 17X9 and 17X11 in back.

yeah i saw the video and thread on them and i LOVE them, but kinda out of my price range : / I mean I could get them but I have a lot of other stuff to do to my car, so im not looking to spend more than $1200 on a set of wheels. I'm also going to be buying heads, cam, intake manifold, headers MAF Throttle body along with all that im looking at a new paint job, new tint, new calipers and rotors, and fixing up the interior such as seats all new carpet ect...ill be spending like $10,000 on the restore project. so wheels i can't spend more than $1200 roughly
