possible new wheels?

itsblue95 · Dec 26, 2011

I was wondering if any of you have fan these wheels? If so can you post pics of them? I was considering the weld RT-s but those are just way to exspensive. I plan to do 17s up front and 15x10 in the back. Heres a link to the wheels I was thinking. Ive never really seen them in person. Let me know what you all think!

are you getting a set for the track? you realize those are only 4.5" wide right?

itsblue95 · Dec 26, 2011

yes i know they are 4.5. i dont drive my car much during the week but they are mainly for the track

Eh, not a huge fan. But pictures would help.

I think they look pretty good. I don't think I would want to dd with them but for a weekend car I think it would be fine. I was looking at them but I'm not a fan of the universal lug/spacer thing

I'm thinking of getting these for the track with Hoosier drag radials and Hoosier front runners probably

i like em in that pic. what size are the backs?

sleepn_sn95 · Dec 26, 2011

I got that pic from svtperformance and I think they were 15x8's.

the people I have talked to running skinnies only drove them on the street to the track and didn't even like doing that.

For a little bit more money you could get 17x7/15x10 Billet Specialties if you are concerned about the width.

ive seen that car over on corral and love it! but there are actually a few people around my area that run those wheels and id like to have something different. im also not too worried about the width.

It's hardcore riding around on pizza cutters in the front, haven't done it for a while

I didn't like riding in a car with skinny's for a couple of blocks. Beg borrow or steal a set of skinny's to try first before you get rid of your current setup.

I ran draglites on my gts for a couple of years as a dd. 8's in the rear with 4.5's in the front with no problems. Didnt ride bad and handling was ok,just dont think your gonna take a corner haulin.
