Default 17" Weld RT-S on MMM Z!

I had been debating on what kind of wheels I should get since my zr1's were pretty beat. I personally like the way the 15" rt-s wheels I had looked on the car so I decided to go with 17s. They are 17x9 6.88bs.

15 would be better for drag racing but still a nice wheel

Def. needs low, but nice. 15s are cool, but if you're leaving them on, 17s are the way to go IMO. Nice!

in 15s w/o a narrowed rear i dont think these wheels look all that good on a 7.5 bs i think the rears look funny with almost no rear lip,great move bigger sizes look so much better,im in the same boat have drag wheels but hit the track maybe once a year,imo not worth having a drag setup if thats how many times you hit the track

These wheels look best with a narrowed rear. I want a 15 and a 17/18 front combo then some additional 18s for when I'm on the street.

Car looks good and will look better once lowered more.

Couldn't agree more with the narrowed rear comment. I went with 3" narrowed and 17 RTS. I get comments everywhere I go.
