1969 Mustang on bonspeed 19" & 20" Huntington Wheels


When Craig Waltjer called bonspeed Wheels and knew what he wanted.  Craig had a 1969 Mustang fastback and he wanted it low, he wanted it mean and he wanted 20X10 Huntington style bonspeed's stuffed under the fenders.

As you can see from the photos, Craig got his wish.  This beauty is red and low and the 19X8 and 20X10 bonspeed Huntington's fit perfectly.

The secret to Craig's fit is both bonspeed customer service and dedication to detail.


From the photo here you can see one of the pre-fit photos to ensure that ride height and fit are ideal.
Craig utilized the bonspeed "Test-Fit" program. You order your wheels at the backspace you think is close, then when they are done bonspeed will pre-assemble a front and a rear.  The wheels are shipped un-welded, allowing you to mount a tire and test the fit.  This is used frequently by professional builders who want perfection.  The customer then decides if they are correct or if an adjustment is required.  There is an extra charge for this, but at bonspeed we call it cheap insurance!

Here is another shot of the Mustang in the build phase, no guess work here.  bonspeed's "Test-Fit" program ensures the perfect set-up and is another way we help the pro's and garage guys get the right wheels.

Call our tech line at 1.888.999.7258 for pricing and details on the test-fit program.

2010 Bad Black SuperCharged Corvette Z06 with bonspeed Jag-XXX Wheels

Mark Grimes of Omaha, Nebraska is a hard-core car guy, if you cut him he bleeds motor oil. You see Grimes has had a bunch of street machines including two that have won "Street Machine of the Year"

Last summer Mark was getting ready to go out on Power Tour so he bought a new Z06 Corvette. Wait we are talking about a guy who loves custom cars and blowers so he did way more than polish the Z06.



First Grimes ordered a fully functioning crabon fiber hood.  Then he painted a cool flat black stripe down the center for attitude.

The car was lowered to reduce wind drag and under the hood a Magnusson super charger was added.  Can you say crazy fast and lots of horsepower?  From the front all you see is the giant pre-cooler down in the nose. To get rid of the exhaust a free flowing stainless system was bolted on.
Now to the best part; getting all that power to the ground. Grimes burns the rubber wrapped around the bonspeed Jag-XXX style wheels.

FRONT: 19X10 with a 7" backspace

REAR: 20X13 with a 9.50 backspace

The Jag-XXX bonspeed wheels are ColorForged™ with Flat black centers and gloss black hoops. The chrome bolts and polished flat center caps accent all that black.


From the back you can see how nicely the experts at bonspeed set-up Mark Grimes Z06 Corvette. You do not get any better fit of a massive 20X13 than this!
How do you make a car this bad even badder and better?

forged billet wheels.

The Camaro is outfitted with bonspeed T-Rex style wheels.

In the front are 18X8 wheels with a 4.50 backspace.

Stuffed under the rear of this super clean Chevy are 18X11 wheels with a 6.50 backspace.

Mitch Henderson's Hot Rod 1937 Ford Roadster with bonspeed DELTA Wheels

Mitch Henderson is from Texas and this young gun has always gone big.  Building a hot rod was no different. When he started cutting on this 1937 Ford roadster he was out for bear.

Mitch told us that he wanted to build a hot rod with attitude and some serious stance.





As you can see when the air-ride is fully bagged he achieved what he wanted.

The bonspeed DELTA style wheels accent this bad boy Texas roadster. With 18X8 up front and 20X10's in the back the car sits perfect. The back wheels have huge lips with a 4" backspace.





Adding to the hot rod's looks is the gold-tone ColorForged™ centers and polished outer hoops.

Mitch can cruise this '37 under the Texas sky knowing that no one
will mess with Texas or his killer hot rod!

Square Body C10 GMC Chevrolet with 22" bonspeed Pallisade Wheels

 The square body Chevrolet and GMC pick-up trucks are hotter than ever!  These trucks were made for years (1973-1987) with very little change.  The square body has cavernous wheel housings that allow for big wheels and tires.

The 1987 C10 shown here was built by the boys at Hill's Hot Rods in Texas.  The super clean truck retains the factory chrome and paint scheme. Jason Hill took the perfect example and repainted it for the perfect look!


Like we said the square body C10 trucks can take lots of wheel.  The C10 here rides on a complete Air-Ride system, but has no other modification.

The wheels are bonspeed Pallisade's and they are 22X8.5 in the front and 22X10 in the rear. As you can see our bonspeed fitment still gives a nice lip in the rear!

Do you want your C10 or other vehicle to look this good, give us a call at 1.888.999.7258.

1970 Nova SS 20" bonspeed Malibu Wheels & Air Ride

This super clean 1970 Nova SS is from Nebraska and it is a fantastic example of the Chevy II.  The car rides on Air Ride suspension and the rearend was narrowed 1" on each side.  The narrowed rear allowed for a larger lip on the rear rims.


The bonspeed wheels are Malibu style and in the front are 20X8.5 and the rear are 20X10.










When using an air suspension we always recommend that you move the wheels slightly in like on this Nova.  That way when the car is dropped it is in the center of the wheel housing.

1959 Chevrolet Impala with bonspeed QUASAR Billet Wheels

Shot on a freeway in Texas ala the lens of John Jackson (notstockphotography.com) this 1959 Chevy Impala is a super clean custom cruiser. The black, red and sandy silver winged wonder rides smooth on bonspeed forged billet "Quasar" style wheels.

The bonspeed rolling stock under the wings are 20X8.5 in front and 20X10 in the rear. The car has been massaged greatly to accept the wheels and huge rear lips with no problems.  This car does look good slammed to the ground.
The rear view of this slammed-pala shows the super wide rubber!

From the fully-prepped big block chevy drivetrain to the hand stitched and very smooth red leather interior this Texas sheet metal is a big star!


The rear deck is a big as Texas. While the Impala sits on this on-ramp John Jackson reflected the image to the camera's chip.
