Default Ruff Racing 278 opinions?

I'm deciding on whether or not to get new rims, and the ones I like best so far are the black Ruff Racing 278s. Anyone have experience with these, or know where I could get them other than eBay for a good price? Any chance a sponsor like Tomz could get them?

Other than that, does anyone know of similar wheels that maybe come in 17s? 18x275 tires are expensive

There's a few people on here with them. Do a search. There was a set for sale recently, IIRC.

No 17's but it's kind of similar looking.





What do you guys think of this one?

I have the solid 5 spoke ones with 3in lip in back and 1.75 in front.. fit pretty good got them off of ebay.. sells name is rt_tire .. 749.00 w/locking nuts shipped. Too bad though all he has is 18's.. I just got the 8.5 and 9.5 so I can run 245 and 275 and its about 50 dollars more than the stock 275/40/17 tires.
