Default Billet Specialties RTs

Hey guys, i just wanted to stop in and show off my new wheels. These are Billet Specialties RTs. From what I understand they're manufactured in the same way as the Street Lites just styled differently.

The fronts are 17x9.5 with 6.75 b.s. and the rears are 17x11 with 7.75 b.s.

The center caps that were supplied with them just weren't doing it for me. They're the push through style and stuck out too far for my liking so i decided to run without them.

I will be lowing it in the near future so it wont look like a 4x4 for long

they look very nice, but def need some center caps, call BS and see if they can make you some flushed ones. Kinda like the ones that come on most Fikse wheels

I called them before placing my order to see if they had any center cap alternatives. The ones that were supplied were the option they had. I would love a fikse style cap though. Ive also looked into shortening the caps that i have, seems doable. Im sure ill figure something out later on but for right now i'm living with it

Looks great. What tires are those rears? PM if you want to buy a set of LG Motorsports Springs that I pulled on mine to give the Kooks True Duals some more room.

Words can't describe how much better those look over what you had before. I also agree that center caps are a must to top it off.

I love polished wheels on any color car. Nice choice on wheels. I'm running a 17x11 / 17x7 setup:
