Ordered new wheels no wheels now what
Hey everyone I have a 1967 Firebird and I am doing a bit of upgrading to it and first thing I wanted was better brakes. So about six months ago I ordered new 15x7 rims. They got back to me and only had two available so I changed my order to two 15x7 and two 15x8 RalleyII’s. In the meantime they sold the 15x7 to someone else and shipped me the two 15x8’s and I have been waiting ever since. My original plan was to run 255/60r15 4.5 backspace on the rear and 215/70r15 4 backspace on the front. Is that the best plan for 15’s that won't rub and should I just wait it out? I want to keep the stock look as much as I can so I really don't want to go to 17’s. Could I fit the 15x8’s all around or is that just trouble? Just tired of waiting and second guessing myself. Thanks!

Yeah I'm after the Vintiques Pontiac Rallye II, Chrome, 15 in.x 7 in 4 in Backspace. I just checked Summut and they show them back ordered too. I guess it's just a waiting game but dang I ordered them in June and they are saying February now. But looking at the fronts I think I better stick with the 7” and just wait it out, I just wanted it ready to go by now.

I don't know what the deal is but even going to wheel vintiques website a search pulls up the powder coated version but when you select chrome it just says no results found…

The wheel market for off the shelf stuff is a mess right now. Although Wheel Vintiques is not owned by Wheel Pros, the bankruptcy of that company is causing issues everywhere in the wheel market. The only wheel brands that don't seem to be effected are the custom line brands that are made to order. As a result, you will probably have to wait for a little bit if you're dead set on those wheels.
