custom wheels

These are not mine, just seen this post on Instagram. Anyone ever have any SSIII wheels made before? wish someone was doing repops like they started doing with the GNX wheels

Oh my, I would love a set of those in 17 or 18"!!!!!

Those look nice! I just went to their website and based on the wheels they do have listed, those won't be cheap. But wow, I would love to see them when mounted on an Olds.

Problem is, the dimensions are all off when they're made bigger than 15". They don't look all that great because of it imo.

Certainly there is the issue of proportions. I have seen some wheels where a larger version wheel doesn't work. However, based on the one picture it looks like they may have got it right. That is why I would like to see more pictures including on a car and at a few different angles.

In the Instagram comments (is that what they’re called?), there is a question on available sizes. The response says “Any size you need...this set just happens to be 15"

Sooooo the proportions look good because these aren’t oversized.

Edit: reading further down 15”=$800 each, 18”=$1100 each🤢🤢

Yeah unfortunately they aren't cheap, but that's the way they always are. When the larger snow flakes came out they were pretty expensive, I haven't checked prices recently but I am sure they are around the same. Gotta pay to play in the aftermarket world

$800 for one wheel? No less than a dozen shops nationally will widen 15" wheels for under $200 each. I get these are "new" but yikes.

The only benefit here I see for a 15" is that it appears to have the larger 13.25 wheel center unlike most olds wheels. All the olds rallys I have seen use the same 12.5" diameter wheel center regardless of if it was a 14" or 15" wheel.

Pontiac on the other hand had 13.25" wheel centers which allow installation over slightly larger brakes.

If I had to guess they are a billet aluminum 1 or 2 piece wheel.

Billet from what I read on their website last night. They were a custom made set.
