Default show me black wheels, crome/polished lips

NO, i dont want to see zo6 motorsport, or zr1's or c6 motorsports

i want to see stuff like ccw classics, painted bogarts, maybe painted pro-stars or xp's. anodized fiske's

i'm exhausted from searching the net, need some fresh eyes.

i'm looking for a set of wheels that i can get in the 15-17" range and that the 4 wheels will not set me back more than say 2500 bux.


thanks. also feel free to throw in your thoughts on how this type of wheel will work on my car.

what i'm going for is the kind of look the gnX cars had and the third gen formulas.

I've spent probably about 1k total including powder coating the centers......but I had purchased the rears used for $450 so I saved some $$$. Sorry man they are not for sell.

David,

a set of Magnum Drags will run you around $1200. The centers unbolt and you can easily have them powdercoated on the cheap at Superior Rail in Ashland. I've got the part numbers of the ones our cars need if you want to PM me for more details

Thanks ! It's funny having both a Mustang and a Camaro but I just tell people I like things that are fast, doesn't matter the brand.

If you're going for the GNX look then I saw definitely go with CCW Classics for Fikse FM10's. I'd LOVE to have a set of FM10's. Best Fikse wheel for a TA/Firebird IMO.

Hey David, what about these wheels on this SS?


A guy on here is selling them for $1800 bucks I think, he says we want's local sale but it seems like nobody is interested in them, they are 17's in the front, 16's in the back (you were saying you wanted smaller in the back). I know they aren't powdercoated, but you can get the center's powdercoated a desired color. Just something to think about. Here's the link to the wheels, click me
