Post Where to order wheels online?

Hello,
I would like to order some new rims for my 67. I was originally going to go with 15's but now I may want some 17's. Where is a good place to buy from online? I was looking to probably get some centerlines. Also how do you determine what backspacing you need?Thanks.........Lumpy

on the backspacing the way i beleive you do it is put a straight edge on your drum face going up to the flat part of the wheelwell. then measure from the straight edge to the wheel well, and subtract an inch for the maximumn backspacing you can have. or should have?

I bought some 17's from http://www.ultraperformance.com
I had them delivered with tires mounted and balanced. Effortless. By the way, backspacing that I used is 4.5 front and 5.0 in back...
