I have a set of Intro Pentia 19x10 and 20x10's on my 93 TA. They are very nice wheels, but I am considering selling them and buying some 3 piece rims that are black in the center. If you are interested pm me and I'll let you know how much.

I had some on my old formula. 18x9 18x10 GT Sports w/out Rivets. GREAT quality of wheel. These are almost the same as the I-forged (same company owns them I think) except you won't get quite as much wheel lip.

I just put a set on a nova for a good friend of mine. They're really nice quality.

Heres a pic with the front two on. The rear tires hadn't come in yet but he wanted to take his car to the show with his front one's on anyways.



They were a bit of a pain to mount without scratching becasue they're a reverse mount wheel, so basically they finished front has to lay face down on the machine. Other than that they they're awsome wheels. With the wheel tire combo it hardly took any weights to balance them.

Default Not my favorite

I had a set on my 01 SS that I sold in April. If I had to do it again I would have bought something else. They arrived in a plain box with no padding/foam at all and 2 of them had small nicks on the inner lip. Not a huge deal, but for what i spent, not acceptable. Every tire shop that I had tires mounted on them said they were the hardest rims they have ever mounted a tire to, for whatever that's worth. Also, whenever it rained the wheels would "fill up" with water and vibrate the steering wheel like crazy. I would literally have to pull off the side of the road and jerk the wheel back and forth to sling the water out, I would have to do this every 9 or 10 miles or so, very frustrating and I've never had that problem with any other wheel. The hidden valve stems do look nice, until you have to add air or check your pressure and then it's more trouble than it's worth. Also the rivets look really sharp but make polishing a pain in the ***, I should have just got them in chrome. They do look really nice when polished and are decent for the price, but you apparantly get what you pay for. Sorry to be so negative, just giving my honest feedback to help you make a decision.

^preciate the input man.

Although I don't quite understand how they "fill up" with water? That really baffles me.

I understand about the hard to mount tires things. All you gotta do it put a towel down so the wheel doesn't get scratched.

...decent for the price? They are $1700 for rims ALONE!!

are you thinking about the same rims here?

Yeah it baffled me too, I thought my steering wheel was going to launch through the t-tops, scared the hell out of me. I didn't figure it out for a while until one day when washing the car. Went to dry and polish the wheels and there was standing water in the middle of the wheel(between the inner lip and the brake side of the wheel spokes). Hope that makes sense. If your getting them at 1700 that's a steal for forged wheels in that size, mine were 1900 with a group purchase discount almost 3 years ago! I believe one of the moderators on here, 9ball was in on that GP. Some forged 2 or 3 piece wheels that wide are almost a grand a piece, depending on what your looking at. Good luck whichever way you go, Rain

Does anybody know if 10's would fit up front? They do not make a 17 x 9 and I'm not paying for 18" rubber.

I don't see why 10's would not fit. I know 17x11 zr1s can fit up front on a camaro so...

Could somebody with 18 x 9's up front look and "eye" a 17" rim Dia. but .5" wider?

Worried about spindle clearance...

I have 17x8 fronts and 17x10 rears. Honestly I wish I'd have gotten 17x10's all the way around.

I like them, a lot. Though, they do hold water in the trough behind the spokes, and topping them off with air is a pain in the ***. I don't drive my car in the rain so I've not experienced that aspect.

I honestly don't know if a x10 will fit up front or not. And unfortunately I don't have the time to go swapping wheels to test right now.
