The Camaro Club (UK)

Hi,
Does anyone know whether there are any good uk suppliers of forged / deep dish style alloys for 69 pro touring Camaro in the making? I'm Trying to avoid spending $4k / £4K importing them...

Forgeline do some amazing wheels, although some will require too much rear end modification, so it's a fine balance. Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks
Paul

Northants tyres are worth a try, these carry a lot of U.S wheels and tyres. TopSpeed Automotive also carry wheels and tyres. What you may find though is they buy from the U.S and make a decent markup. Which model are you after? It may be possible to find some in the U.S and get an importer to bring them in. A few people on here have used Steve Lang - really helpful guy to deal with and makes it nice and easy - whatever the $ price is, you give him that number in £. He buys it, takes care of customs etc. and then you either pick them up (Watford area if i remember correctly) or pay for a courier. For wheels, as it's going by ship he can get a better price than $ to £ as shipping is cheaper than by plane. He does containers every week so should get here pretty quick. Hope that helps?

Thanks for the quick reply. Topspeed don't seem to do wheels but they do other things I'm after so thanks for the tip. Yeh I know northanttyres, but they need to make money... I have imported wheels before, I'm just trying to find a uk supplier or a clever alternate to expensive forged wheels that look the same ie deep dish.

Many thanks again.

Glad to be of help! I thought TopSpeed did wheels, but only because they do tyres (tend to be more race tyres like Hoosier / MT). I wonder if it could be worth asking these places if they can order some in - i know that RealSteel offer the option that if they don't have something on their price list, they will bring it in from the states if it's car related. I can't think of any other suppliers at the moment, but hopefully someone who may know of a place can chime in.

I always liked the CCW wheels, but not much cheaper than Forgeline.. There's a few other US wheels companies, but as Ray says unlikely they'll be in stock at any UK dealers.

Thanks again guys, yes the CCW wheels are a work of art, I'd seen them before. But as you say, $1k each which would equate to about £4K once imported

I would try Image wheels:
