Like the title says...There's got to be something else out there, right?

Cheaper than ccw's. I like the prices of oewheels, but I don't like how they don't have a 17x11 dd c5.

I was thinking something like billet specialties street lites or Weld RT-s s71, but I haven't been able to find any prices for the proper offset for f-bodies.

1400.00 for all 4 cheap enough?

I am building a Factory Five GTM and they have a deal on 4 forged 18x9.5 front 18x12 rears for $1399. Fronts weight 19lbs rear 22.

That's a great deal, but I don't think I will be able to afford tires for an 18x12. Would these fit on a 1.75" lowered camaro?

Used torque thrust IIs or some used CCWs or Fikses. Every so often some widened stockers pop up

eBay has 335/18 for $185 brand new for two and $239 for 255/18 less than 600 shipped for all 4.

R compound 335 tires on ultra light wheels for just under 2k= cheap in my book.

That's a nice wheel, but I'm wanting to run a 315/35/17 drag radial. Anyways....I just got quoted a price for Weld rt-s.

$2000 shipped and this is what he said about the back spacing
"I would do the 17x7's with medium pad and 4.8" backspace on the front. 17x10's with medium pad and 7.3" backspace on the rear".....Does that seem right? Don't understand the "pad" part

Haha nice. I looked it up, the pad design is to clear brakes. A low pad is for smaller brakes. A high pad is for bigger ones. I think it will be a 17x11 back wheel, I will see. That should be find for a 315.

Does $2000 seem about right? I really wasn't looking to sepend but ~$1300 on new wheels, but cant find anything.

Call Midwest Chassis. Talk to them about the billet specialties. They can make a good deal on that set up and get you closer to your price than the rts. I got mine from them and they look bad ***.

This....I didn't get mine from them, but Jason pointed me to another member that had bought his from them. Got a brand new set never installed at a killer price.

Yeah they actually don't look too bad on that TA....any on a black one?

Found one website that has them...www.NOT-A-SPONSOR.com.org.gov.net
Don't come in chrome or polished? Wish they had a lip too.
