Yea.. thought Boyd sold off his wheel business to stick with the custom car market? Anywho - thought they sold it off to American Racing or something although *his* wheels would still carry his name?
Just what I (thought) heard.

 

That's what I thought too. A friend of mine has Boyds cell phone number and told him that next time he ordered wheels to talk to him directly. (Long story, but lets just say it took 5 times to get the last order right). Anyway, he called to order another set and Boyd told him that it's an outside job now. He did give him another number to call, but I thought it was strange. I'm going to ask him to get more details. Heck, maybe I'll call Boyd. LOL

 

Well, not exactly. Platinum Equity acquired the wheel production side of the business, and licensed the Boyd Coddington name to use on the wheels, and has an agreement with Boyd to do marketing and events. Platinum Equity acquired American Racing last year. But it's all basically run under the American Racing division.

 

Hey Jeff how good a deal can you do for me on the smoothie II`s???
would need them shipped to 61367, Hey jeff when i went to your site it says no wheels are avalibale for the hhr`s I bet you would sell a butt load of the smoothies if you let people know they were avalibale!!

 

hey Jeff at truckshop.com If you would rather email me about the smoothie wheels rather than posting it here my email is breez28@verizon.net Thanx Jeff

 

Oldschool, check your email. I'm working on getting some HHR-specific wheel/tire specials put together. For now, you can browse our entire wheel selection by clicking on the Wheels link on the left side navigation. Pretty much all wheels listed are made-to-order, so we can fit the HHR with any style.

 

I ended up buying the Ebay Wheels, from another member here!!!!

They were as advertised, and today I had my factory 17" Tires transfered over, and I have to say my HHR is on it's way to a Mondern Street Rod Look!!!

Only thing I was nervous about, was the offset, with my HHR lowered. They are just a fraction, just a fraction wider, I think. Visually, you can't tell, but the short ride back from tire shop, experience some rear inner fender rub, may have to look into rolling inside of fender a little.

Not that is any of you all concerns, but the Ebay ones, finishing on a holiday, did not shoot up that high, although some use on them, a great deal and now I HAVE BOYD WHEELS on my Street Rod!!!


YES, YES pictures will be posted soon!!!!

 

Awesome, thanks for the info. Glad I can put some real hot-rod rims on my car! Wonder if Foose sells the same way.

 

A few Pictures!







Bryce:
Foose wheels, would be able to be ordered, I believe they are similar to ordering Boyds, they build to spec.

 

The standard Foose wheels are cast one-piece so you can't get the custom offsets. They do some 2- and 3-piece like you see on the cars they build, but those are a lot more expensive.
