Does anyone know what size the stock 2002 Firehawk are? I know they are 17s, but are they 9 1/2 inch or somthing else?

I like these wheels too, but would go to 18s rather then 17s.

Can a 315 35/17 tire be mounted on the 10.5" wide rim?? I would think it would fit. I might be interested in this option if I cannot get a good deal on Torque Thrust IIs.

Todd I'm not going to be buying any wheels or tires as I have plenty of both but thanks for posting this info. It is always nice to have alternatives which might bring the price of TTIIs down a bit.

here you go....I bought these rims and the rear 315 F1 GS D3's from Todd at DTD...They look awesome, all my friends with polished wheels are very jealous! Unfortunately I have to sell them quick, it's listed in the for sale section if interested...lowering springs soon to follow if I manage to come up with some cash without parting with these babies...

So, the second rim pictured above is power coated dark grey on the spokes. Is this extra? And, if so, how much?

Thanks.

Todd - question. The "silver" version of these wheels that is listed on your site looks like a dark gray in the picture but it looks like a computer-generated picture. I'd actually prefer them to be dark gray but it'd be ok if it looked like this:

Is that what they look like in terms of how light/dark they are?

Well I figured but they got them from a different place and I've yet to see the "silver" ones on a car other than that one.

Todd,

What happened to these wheels? Is Discount Tire Direct not carrying the 17x9's anymore? I saw the 17 x 10.5's but there are only a couple in the system. I really would like to purchase a set of these. If they are not being carried by DTD, does anyone know who has them? Thanks.
