That 17 is too small when you go deep dish. The spokes are too short.

Those are the wheels I want, only in 18/19.

Hell no man when you see Hoosier on the sidewall you know the car means business. Plus he will have the power to back it up

Car looks great man.

i beg to differ, you see Hoosier on the sidewall of a car and know it means business if you don't know much about cars, or are a redneck.

"ooooh buddy, that car's gotta be ******' awesome it's gots some Hoosiers on da back"

and having some lettering on your sidewall doesn't justify that its bad ***, it's all in the moment you start it up or pop the hood and people **** themselves.

lettering aside, I like them... I think 17 in the front will look a lot better once the front has some weight on it. With the gap closer to the wheel I don't think they will look too small. 18/19 is a nice way to go too!

I don't like 18/19 wheels on a 4th gen...you can't get good rubber on it. I think 17/18 is the right stance for a 4th gen. But I am thinking of going with a set of BS 17x8/17x11 for the street and 17x8/15x10 for the track.

OP...Good job

Your site lists them as "stainless steel lip" is that a coating?

The Stainless Steel is not a coating, it is like a trim ring that is firmly affixed to the lip of the wheel.
