wow thanks for your negative input even though i didnt ask for it. they have a wide selection of wheels for our cars from 17's through 20's . this just happens to be the style and size that i picked up. its fine if you thin theyre too ricy but i dont care to hear it because its my car and my money and when theyre on my car maybe youll think different. But even if you dont it doesnt matter so please no more posts like this i simply dont care.

And theyre cheap!! brand new with tires etc im getting them for 1750+ shipping. They have all correct backspacing etc. if you want the more old school look they have several 5 spoke designs with huge lips and rivets and i think theyre an amzing company and i think theyre going to explode. that have everything you could possibly want at killer prices

www.hubcap-tire-wheel.com they have them. i did a google search and they were one fo the first that showed up. They had what i was looking for so i stopped there but i dont know that they carry every rim offered from ruff. When i say wide i mean like 5-10 styles for fbodys rather than the usual 2 or three. i also like their six points but i dont know what theyd look like on an fbody.

Your right. It's your car, your money. You do what's best for you. It seems alot of people on these boards get touchy over stuff. Hey, best of luck to ya bro.
