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! So they can drag them on the rear's

 

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.
