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.

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.
Best regards,
