Default New wheel ****!!!!!!

*** These are now for sale in the FS section ***


Okay.....sorta new wheels

I had the fronts narrowed to 6" wide so I can run a baby lil 205mm 25" tall tire. They look more narrow in person than they do in pics for some reason.......the camera must add a couple inches :ph34r: Rears have the M/H 325mm 28" tall drag radial on them. The car drives VERY nice with this set-up. Hooks decent for a street tire, and turns real easy with my manual rack!

Narrowing costs $175 a wheel plus shipping each way. Wanted a 25" tire for the least amount of rotating mass without being too low-pro. This is also one of the "taller" sidewalls for a 205mm 17" tire. I think they are 205/50/17s.

Don't know, don;t really care. Probably not a TON as only 3" of hoop was removed. I have bogarts for track days.

$175 a wheel plus shipping each way.

I never drive my car on the street anymore so I decided to sell these. They have less than 10 miles on them with ZERO racing or burnouts. They seemed to drum up quite the interest so now you can have them at my loss!
