We are proud to introduce the Spirit of Boyd, S.O.B., to our cast line up of wheels. Another classic design with a little more attention to detail. The S.O.B. features an A-356 highly polished aluminum cast center and uses the same 6061 spun outers as the rest of our billet and forged wheels. Attention to detail was our main focus in building this wheel. No other polished cast wheel on the market has the detail and features that the S.O.B has. From the raised detail area around the lug holes to the flanges that flank the classic spoke shape. Available in 17″, 18″ and 20″ diameters and widths ranging from 7″ to 15″. Made for 5×4.5 and 5×4.75 bolt patterns and anything in between.

Pro Touring Wheel Headquarters
19x8 and 20x12 PT-01
We have been catering to the Pro-Touring market long before that term for the latest automotive segment even existed. Originally part of our Multi-Piece Forged series the PT-01 and the rest of our Pro-Touring line cater to lightweight designs, performance brake clearances, and a wide array of sizes and backspaces. Shown above are a pair of brushed center polished outer PT-01 in 19×8 and 20×12. If your looking for the ultimate performance wheel set up look no further. Contrary to some of the information that is being thrown around out there about 3pc wheels being better than 2pc, 2pc welded construction wheels are far superior to 3pc wheels for a number of reasons. 2pc wheels are pound for pound stronger and outperform 3pc wheels in cornering and radial fatigue tests. 2pc wheels in most cases can be made lighter due to the lack of hardware. Speaking of hardware would you build a race car chassis by bolting it together or wouldn’t you just trust the strength of welding? Sizes and offsets. There is now a wide array of diameters and widths that fit 98% of the tires available for performance vehicles. Both our centers and our outers are made of 6061 aluminum unlike most 3pc rim shells that are made of 5000 series aluminum. Now the only thing 3pc wheels have over 2pc wheels is the ability to chrome the wheels. If your into that then go for it, but if your into a nice looking wheel that performs stick with 2pc.
24×15″ Slayers
Some 24×15’s Slayers we just finished up for a customer. Really big. This is about the largest width and diameter we can make in our 2pc line of wheels. They do look good on the right car that is built around these wheels. These won’t fit on your average car or truck.
Above we show the same 24×15 Slayer next to a 17×8 rim. A lot has changed over the years. 20 years ago that 17″ rim was big. To see what tires go on these bad boys check out the Pirelli 405/25r24 here
Boyd Coddington built cars on Velocity’s Chasing Classic Cars
While I didn’t get a chance to see if for myself I heard good things about the episode of Chasing Classic Cars on Discovery’s Velocity Channel where 3 cars built by my dad were auctioned off. You can check out a snippet of the video here

2012 4th Annual Boyd BQ
The 4th Annual Boyd BQ couldn’t of had a better day weatherwise. The sun was out all day and the temp stayed at right around 80 for most of the event. Lots of family and friends showed up to remember my father, Boyd Coddington. The turnout was bigger this year with a couple cool surprises. My brother Gregg kicked off the party by sliding in his little roadster sideways down Orange Ave as he pulled into the driveway. Walt Baynes showed up with his Boyd built roadster. My dad built the roadster back in 1988 and the front end resembles the original Boydster and is actually it’s predecessor. Walt has kept the thing in perfect condition and he still takes it out and puts some miles on it. We decided to have a little live music this year so a Coddington family favorite, Brother Yusef, laid down the blues all afternoon. Tacos were served up and the beer supplied by Boyd Brewing flowed until it was gone. Its always a great time to catch up with old friends and family and have a good time in memory of someone special.
Tri-Five Revived
There are some classic looks that you’ll never get away from and that will never be dated when it comes to classic looking wheels. Wheels are the most important part of the looks of your vehicle next to the paint. So when we design classic wheels for hot rods and muscle cars we like to pay homage to the classics of the past and focus on detail and making each and every wheel something you would be proud to roll on. This is exactly the approach we took when we produced the Tri-Five. After a few variations we have finally nailed it. This classic 5 spoke has unmatched design and machining elements that set it apart from the rest. As you can see from the detail shots the depth of design and the execution of the machining and polishing is flawless. The Tri-Five comes in 17-22″ in widths from 7″ to 15″. We machine to order and most 5 lug patterns can be made.
Spectrum
The Signature Series Spectrum. Available in 17-24″ sizes for most 5 lug applications.
The Spectrum featured on the Halliday Caddy built by Duane Mayer of American Hot Rods in Anaheim, CA. A classy wheel on a classy Caddy.
Smoothie III……..Ceramic Titanium Finish
We almost exclusively use ceramic finishes. First of all they are durable and easy to apply in custom finishes. But most importantly they look great and look expensive. Rated up to 1600 degrees F these finishes are unmatched for their durability and their look and feel. With a range of matte colors from black to silver we have just what you need to add that extra detail to your custom wheels. Here is a Smoothie III that we painted with Ceramic Titanium. It came out awesome.
Smoothie III and Junk Yard Dog
Available now are the Smoothie III and Junk Yard Dog cast wheels in the widest range of sizes you’ll ever find. Both wheels are available in 17-20″ Diameters for 5×4.5 and 5×4.75 fitments(custom 5 lug bolt patterns available). We offer widths from 7″ wide to 15″ wide standard. We can also build a wide range of custom widths to really dial in the wheel fitment for your hot rod, muscle car or custom. Check here for a list of prices and sizes and backspaces available.
