Which kind of wheels??

I am down to picking between 2 kind of wheels now. I would like everyone's opinoin on which set to get. I have narrowed it between the 17" Boyd Coddington Smoothie 2's and 17" Eagle Alloy type 077's.

Which set does everyone think would look better on the 1999 Red Z28???

I am not really sure about how to post pictures of the wheels, so I will just give you a couple of websites.

The eagle ones are on www.eaglewheels.com , then go FWD and they are type 077.

I am not really sure where to find a good pic of the Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's, just search they are easy to find.

Thanx for the reply and tell me which set you think will look best!!

I would say go with the Smoothie 2's if either, but then again, I have Crager SS's and love them!

I am still waiting for a day that there is no rain to get some pictures of my new pewter baby!

I have to agree with SWEETSS. I think being the Eagle's are meant for Front wheel drive, you might get a ricer effect. The smoothie 2's almost resemble Torque Thrusts. Just my .02

the eagles look cheap in comparison to the Boyd rims, plus the Boyd rims have a much more muscular look- perfect for the camaro. & you have the originality of the custom Boyd rims to the Eagle rims that you can buy at sears.

Boyds all the way, the eagle rims look like Phipp's bargain basement blowout specials that come with a complimentary bowl of soup!
