HP Racing Rims HPR-5, they were pretty popular for awhile then they kinda fell off. I still love em. Changed the whole car imo.

Those HPR-5s don't looks bad at all, what are the specs? I'm in the same boat here too and unless someone finds something that really impresses me I'm just saving for some FM5s. I need a 17" rims that is at least 9" wide.

No its not the pics, they are pretty flat. But i love them, i love them sitting still, and love them rolling too! I wish someone would have made an aftermarket set with a nice lip on the back and a little lip up front, but i am pleased with the look.

There is one of mine, I can see if I can find more. Chrome ZR1's 17x9's all the way around. Although I'm thinking about different wheels now.

I know how you feel....I was about to order the CCWs. I even called and got the full price with shipping.....Got a little sticker shocked and never called back

$4200 to my door with Michelin PS2 tires
Maybe when BFG releases the KDW2 I will order them....think it'll drop the price about $500

Other than CCWs there is nothing really out there, Fiske are cool but the same price. TT2s are cool but everyone has them

I also called and talked to CCW, and although I can afford the wheels, the price of tires is way too much, I mean 300+/ rears and close to 300/ fronts
insane!!! especially when I replace the rears about once a year

BFG are has released the KDW2, are they suppose to release a 305/30/19? will it be under 250/ tire?

I mean I also have looked at iForged 2 piece wheels(call they are about the same as a CCW) and the tires needed for there sizes seem much more affordable (Firestone Firehawk or Nitto 555 (non competition)) than the Brigdestone/Pirelli Ferrari tires, apparently the SuperAmerica, for the CCWs

my only other option is consideration so far is OEM GM Grand Sports (no OE replicas, AFS, etc...)
and using either Nittos with DR in the rear, or Goodyear/BFG tires

and as far as I know the Fikse seem much more expensive about 3300 for the 17" combos and 3800 for the 18" combos (that does not leave much for tires, considering the Michelin PS2s are 400+/tire)

I might also consider the Y2ks OEM, any idea about backspacing and offsets? I mean will they fit on a Formula without BFH or adjustable Panhard bar?

the OEM Y2k wheels are 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 correct?

if they are like the aftermarket replicas, anything that uses a 295 or higher tire will need the BFH... you should only need the PHB if your lowered right?

yes, here's where I found the OEMs http://www.vettewheel.com/default.htm

really cause CCW was trying to tell me that 305/30/19 would not rub,
and I am lowered, so I guess I need one

right now all I got is a panhard bar with the polys
