17" skinny's?
 

dose anybody make a skinny in a 17" that fits our cars?

anybody?

are you looking for skinnies for you stock wheels???

Looking for a set of skinnie's Rim's and tires, I cant stand the way the 15" skinnies look on f-bodys...

all the 17" wheels I found have either a angela or strange axle wich I beleave are just for Rails and dragsters, would be nice if someone could make a decent looking skinnie

Weld is supposed to be coming with some soon. I saw the Ford applications in a 17" Magnum at SEMA last year. It shouldn't be long. I think the main drawback right now is tires to match.

what a godsend that would be :)

these in 17's would be the shiznick, And why in the hell are they under imports! :bang: So they can drag them on the rear's :eyes:

Uh yeah. They need to save rotational mass too.

That would look pretty sweet. Pricey, though. I could see tires being a problem. there will be very little rubber between the wheel and the road.

I know Bogart make a 17X4-6....... There spendy though and they are there RR series wheels.....

just got a e-mail from weld and below is the 17" skinnie there working on :)

Hi Scott,

It is true that we are developing a 17x4.5 wheel. It will be a 17” version of the Aluma Star 1-pc forged 15x3.5. The primary application will be for the Ford Cobra. If the wheel shows a strong demand, an application for the F-body will follow quickly. We are currently in the tire/wheel testing stage and expect this wheel to be available to the public in July.

They didnt say how much though..... what do ya think around $350 a rim...

I'd say at least $369 each, that's what I paid for the magnum 2.0 front runners on my other car. Worth it though, they are light as air !!

Not sure if I'd like the spindle mount wheels for a daily driver..

Yeah I would say $350-400, I would pay it too ;)

Oh its not going to be a spindle mount here is the Rim

Hell, for that price it would be better to have a set of stock 17" wheels narrowed and run a bias motorcycle tire. That is what I did. No spacers or grinding needed. Each wheel was about $250 to be done.

Really? give me some info on this Dont be stinggy :) who did it for you?

Brain at RPM Motorsports in Texas ( 972-434-2151 ). He had a set of 16x8 wheels narrowed to 16x3.5 for me. Also said that 17" could work, but 16" would have greater strength. I am running a set of 150/80/16 motorcycle up front.
