Default No one is running Weld RTS 17" or 18"?

Did a search and couldn't find anything. plenty of people running 15" rts's. Anyone got any pics an f-body with Welds new 17" or 18" rts's? I love the way the look and would make a killer street wheel, plus weld has tons of options like how much clearance you need for calipers (pad spacing i think its called). I'd like to get a set of the 18" with the pad spacing to run C6 Z06 calipers or the new 6 piston cts-v calipers.
Funny thing is a have a set of 5.5 17x11 TT2's I ordered and i'm waiting on for my narrowed MWC 9" and im already looking at new rims. My car is paid off in 10 months and im gonna have alot of extra money to put into the car. Really considering these rims...... whos got pics??

I have a few pictures of a 2010 SS with 17" RTS wheels, and a 2010 Mustang with 17" RTS, and a 2006 Mustang with 20" RTS wheels, but haven't seen any on an F-body yet. They would look killer though, if you do decide to go that route!

I haven't priced them at any other vendors, so I don't know if that's on the high side or not, but even if it is, that's still not too outrageous..I mean, look down in the CCW thread..there's 30+ pages of hundreds of people that have CCW's on their cars, and those are just the guys that are posting them up, not the other thousands of cars out there with them..and those wheels START at 600ea.

exactly, i mean someone will get the 17" or 18" rt-s for the f-body eventually. I'm not looking to get them for about a year, just don't want to be the first one, id like to see what they look like on our cars first.

Sorry everyone, no pictures yet but we are in the middle of installing a set of 18-inch Weld RT-S wheels (with high pads to clear big brakes) on the STi Killer ('01 SS).

I will update this thread when the magazine (GM High Tech) comes out and when we get the story online!
