Default Worst set of wheels on an F-body ever!!!

Well they may be ugly to some but at least they are the nicest set of wheels I have ever had. Just picked them up today from a local forum member. Liked them so much I thought I would share. Let me know what you guys think.

17x8 and 17x11 Bogart RR10's
Tires are -Rear:M/T 295/45-17
Front: Continental 245/45-17
Tires are too tall to maximize my setup since I have 3.23's but I am not dropping a dime in the stock 10 bolt. Plan to spray it until it comes time to replace the rear.

Actually I purchased them from a local forum member and he bought them from Mighty Mouse. I think he went deep in the 8's on this setup. Don't think I will be trying to click off an 8 or even 9 sec pass anytime soon though.

Not my style of wheel, but you've got the car lowered nicely, and overall the look is great!

I'm pretty happy with them. I'll be getting a set of skinnies in the future to use on weekends.

The OP was asking for an opinion on how the wheels look on his car, don't really understand how those of who don't agree that it looks good don't "know much"

**** happens. I have had tt2's, speed lines, slp chrome ws6 wheels, and a few others. These do the job nicely.There will never be a setup that everyone loves. However I get bored with the frequent traveled setup. "if you always do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got!"
