Default My 17x11 10 spoke project

I have always wanted a set of wide 10 spokes. I love the look of 10 spokes...

I picked up a set (4) of stock mint condition 10 spokes (with great tires) for $450.



Bought another pair (2) of 10 spokes because I didn't want to be stuck not driving my car while the 2 were being widened.



Here is the after, I am still up in the air on what color I want to do them.



The car it's going on.

Go for the 35th anni style with the pockets black ( semi or flat) and spokes bright silver of your choice , I'd lead towards a fine grain.

A dark wheel is not going to look good.....brighter the better.

I've always wanted 10 spokes my self, but finding rims at a good price around here sucks. I'm eyeing up a set of ZR1's right now, I have a smokin deal on a new set of 275's. If I'm lucky I can get them before the Fbody meet.

I didn't word that correctly, I meant I wish the widened wheels were widened in the front to give you a deep dish.

I saw some at an all out fbody car show this weekend. I don't know how I feel about it. Looked good but also looked kinda cheep. Where could I get it done? I talked to the owner and he said he did it through belle tire.
