Default Thoughts on these wheels?

These are the wheels I'm looking at. 17x9.5 all the way around. I couldn't get the pic to show so you have to copy url and paste. Thanks.

Those rims are sweet. But 17x11's on the rear with 315's would be bad ***. If you have the right backspacing so the tires don't stick out past the fender then it almost looks like a tubbed car fron the rear <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking to be a little different than the 10 spoke are ZR1. I really like both those styles,but a friend already has a NBM SS with chrome ZR1's. I wanted to stay the same at all four corners so I can rotate them. Although the 315's out back would look awesome!!!Keep them coming guys.

I feel your need to rotate, but damn 315's look good. Although one plus to keeping the 17*9.5's is there lighter. <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" />

Yeah those are nice. They use to be known as the "WEB" wheel in the Cruise line series. I was set on getting them until I saw them on a car in Popular Hot Rodding, then they didn't look so appealing.

Oh yeah, that is one of those types of wheels that only looks good if you have a nice braking system behind them. Just something for you to think about before you make a decision. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

later,
Steve

My mail is steven0932@aol.com -- He had been trying to do the SS milled in them but its a bitch to calculate the radius of the curve to get the letters to look right.. besides i like them blank and clean.. hell if they dont know its an SS by now they are hopeless <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Those wheels look great! They're VERY similar to my Boyd Coddington Timeless 5's.

Trevor,
The Timeless 5's is what I wanted for awhile, but I saw you already had them and I don't like to copy people. I know I don't like it when people buy the same thing I have after they see mine. Once I saw how good your car looked, I knew it was time to stop shopping a little more serious <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> . I'll be close, but just alittle different. I had emailed you awhile back about backspacing and stuff and I really appreicate the help you offered.

ALL those wheels are sweet, especially the 547's.
Except they are i think somewhere around $3000. Just though you might want to see them though. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
