Default 11in wide T/A rims

I need new rims for my T/A. I have a wobble in one. I want wider rims in the back, but like the look of the factory rims. Does anybody make a 11in wide 17in rim that looks like factory? I have the chrome 17/9.5 now.

You can have them widened but you will have to run spacers. I was going to do that until i found out how heavy the stock rims were. Getting them widend will do nothing but make them heavier. Some members have used fixrim.com to have them widened

Your right, they are even heavier then stock. I was really supprized at the difference my bogarts made. They are extreemly light. I belive 9lbs for the front and 11 lbs for the rears

Wheel weights ---> http://www.angelfire.com/my/fastcar/suspension.html

02black, I'll swap my chrome 17x11 zr-1s for your 17x11 ws6 wheels. I love the look of those wheels.
