Finally got them -- Coys C5 wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

2500HD · 09-23-2007, 04:17 PM

They took 10 weeks to get. Coys said it would 4 to 6. Their customer service is less than steller. My buddy is still waiting for is 18X8 with 4 inch BS for his 53 --- we ordered them on the same day.

The wheels look great and are exactly what I ordered. I should have the truck back together and the wheels on in about 2 months.

nice... my favorite wheels, hopefully they still make them when I have money

What was wrong w/the wheels that were on the truck in your avatar pic?

bigfredtn · 09-23-2007, 05:48 PM

You are right regarding the customer service. I have emailed them on several times with questions about ordering wheels. I had one reply back asking me about my bolt pattern. I have not heard back from them since.

There was nothing really wrong with them. They were American Eagle and and they only offered a 5.5 inch backspace for the 20X9.5 rear wheels. I had to use a spacer and I really do not like spacers. I also wanted a deeper dish look. I hate polishing so chrome was the only way to go.

The way I have it calculated the coys should fir perfect without a spacer in the rear.

What are you going to do with your old spacers/adaptors? I need some for the rear of my truck

Sorry Cheyenne402 I must have missed your question. I still have the spacers and do not need them. PM me and we can figure out the details.

Frizzle Fry · 09-24-2007, 06:31 PM

When I ordered mine (by phone) I got them the next week!

**'70_402** · 09-24-2007, 07:08 PM

MrShelley · 09-24-2007, 07:15 PM

Compare the cost of Coy's C-5's to American Racing Torq-Thrusts II's and you'll see!

jkade · 09-24-2007, 07:47 PM

I got my americans cheaper than you can buy coys

But I would have to kill you if I told you how.

crzngmychvy · 09-24-2007, 09:36 PM

Put them on the truck asap please!

Im looking to buy some American TTO's, could you tell someone else on this thread and kill them so I can read how you did it?

Dont know about how 'American' the ARE TT's are..... I seem to recall seeing that they were made over-seas as well (I remember reading it somewhere).

mixermike · 01-31-2008, 10:48 AM

good choice, those will look sweeeeeeeeeeet

whatnow123 · 09-24-2007, 08:59 PM

Those are nice, can't wait to see them on the truck!

piecesparts · 09-24-2007, 09:25 PM

I'm curious---who was your supplier for the Coy's wheels. I have an outlet in the southwestern Missouri area, that says he can have them in very short order (less than 10 weeks).

2500HD · 09-25-2007, 10:50 AM

I got them from Coys.

Special -- nothing really but they are a fair price for chrome and they have a soft lip. I like both TTIIs and the Coys either would have been fine. The soft lip on the Coys is the reason I chose them.

I did not price the TTIIs only because I chose the Coys.
