Can anyone help me find wheels for my 68? I am wanting to run 18" on the front and 19x11 wheels on the rear. I know the rear backspacing but was wondering on the front what will look good. Let me know what you have done or pics would be awesome
Thanks Todd

I'd think an 18x9 would look good, but will more than likely require aftermarket A-arms to clear the offset on the wheels.
This one looks pretty decent without tires mounted up yet:

I dont want to spend to much on the wheels but want a good looking wheel. It is already mini-tubed in the rear and Im pretty sure a 19x11 wheel will fit no problem. It will need around 4.5 b/s. The wheels on the that camaro are perfect, what are those?

I believe those are Budniks, it didn't say the specs on them though. The pic is from the Detroit Speed & Engineering site.
Here's some on Ebay that look pretty decent, but in larger sizes than the 18/19 setup:
