Default New Smoothie 3's!!
Well after waiting awhile I got my Boyd Smoothie 3's. They are very similar to the Smoothie 2's. I think the only difference is center hub design...they are now more like TT2's except a cleaner look with the smooth lip. Size is 18x9 & 18x10 with 275/35 and 295/35 rubber.
These pictures aren't that great but when the weather clears up I get better ones that aren't so blah. Let me know what you think!













These AR Rebels will be for sale soon.

I must say I REALLY like those. I've been waiting for someone to come out with a 18" wheel similar to a TT2. I wish they'd go wider though...

Im the opposite , they look like tt2s too much , they rounded the spoke and made the center just like then also . I have smoothie 2's on my 85 and like the sharpness . A pic of the rims on my 85 for comparo .

But a no go from me , sorry , Your car dont worry what other think though .

IDK if it's the color of your car OP or what but they look damn good on your T/A.

To RAM- The Smoothies 2 look good also and look good on yours also.

I like smoothie II 's better . The III 's look a lot like torque thrusts . Oh well just my opinion .

I really like those, I've been looking from something in like a 18x13 and a mini-tube for next year. Only thing i don't like are those center caps, are plain ones available?

You can go wider, I chose 10" cause I already had tires and 10" is wide enough for me. check out http://www.billetwheel.com/

No problems! I do like the edge sharpness on your wheels better but I like the smooth lip on mine better. I wasn't sure how these would look since I have never seen the actual wheels....just the stock photo on their website.

The caps are engraved aluminum so I'm sure they can do blanks or possibly something custom. I didn't think to ask when I ordered mine.
