New Wheel Setup?

[97stanger]

Hey guys

Thinking of possibly going with a different big/skinny setup and just looking for opinions. I currently run Weld Prostars and obviously I'm going for the red/black combo. Here are a few pics of how my ride sits now...

What do you guys think about something like the Weld RTS wheels?

I love the RTS's. I say go for it.

RT-S's all the way. I LOVE mine. They're so much better quality than prostars. No more cracking noises or noisy center pieces. Some Billet Specialties might look cool too.

Yeah the more I research the more I think they will really pop on my red/black combo.
I'm thinking of going with the 15x10.275 (6.5bs) for the rear wrapped in MT ET Streets 295/55/15
and for the front 15x3.95 (1.6 or 2.5 bs?) wrapped in my current Kumho front runners...not too sure which b/s i will need for the front

yesss!

hey slow90coupe...what sizes/front and rear are you running? What size tires?
Also, where did you get yours from?

The fronts are 15x4 low pad with 1.5 (I think) backspacing with a 165/80 Volkswagen tire and the rear is 15x9.25 medium pad with 5.5 backspacing with 275/60/15 Nitto. I bought them for my fox, but if I did it again I'd definitely get a 15x10. You really can't tell the difference IMO though. I bought them from jimsracingtires.com. They had the cheapest prices around, free lugs, and fast shipping.

Good stuff. Thanks for the info

Id go with a 17x4.5 for the fronts. They look badass with that size on the fronts and some nice meats on the rear.

Not the wheels your looking for but the same size just for reference.

Cant go wrong with the Alumastars either.

 

[97stanger]

all of those look good! I am definitely looking for the two tone polished lip/black center look though.

A shame....some black FR500's with a red pinstripe would look HAWT.

 

[white95]

Go for it

 

[95riosnake]

Alumastars with a gold anodized beadlock on the back, and the centers black....mmmmmmmm

What's this car run on 1/4? Maybe some bogarts would be sexy

 

[97stanger]

well after talking to people and getting $8,000 offers...it seems to be a no brainer lol

 

[Musturd]

Yea no doubt I wouldn't get rid of it for that

Musturd, it's a 10 second car if I remember correctly.

Such a beautiful piece.


I'll say the ones you mentioned intiially. They'd look awesome
