Tony,

I'd link the pic of Mightey Mouses car with the 17's if I wasn't doing this from my phone.
He has the 17" Senika's on his TA. 17X8's and 17X10's with M/T 315/35's out back.

Tony I'll be picking up a set for my new TA...... Once I find the TA LOL.
I'll be hitting you up when I'm ready. BTW the pics on my site are the 1st set of 18's on 2 piece they made for the F-Body years ago.

I would be interested if they are identical to the iforged Aeros. My rear is narrowed 3' on each side would that be a problem. I would need custom offsets of course. What about 18's and 19's?? I am very interested ..
Thanks.

I can get any size, but am just using this thread to focus on the lowest budget option. I see guys buying all sorts of other 17s, figured they would like some nicer wheels that only cost a little more.

I will def be in touch I hope this is going on after the holidays. I will PM you what I need I really appreciate it NineBall I have been wanting some iforged aeros for a while but could not afford 4-5 grande for wheels. I have been waiting for something like this. So basically they have the same design as iforged aeros and they are forged 2pc instead of 3pc. Thanks again.

the ones on his old 69 are Intros, hes selling iForged aeros, he was showing what the deeper lip would look like if the rear was narrowed. so hes not selling Intros he selling iForged. they look almost the same and yes they are two piece wheels

What im wondering is will the backspacing still look good on a lowered car without having the rear narrowed? If so how much of a lip will there be on the front and back?

Here is a photo of an f-body with 17" iForged wheels.

Yes, visit www.iforged.com to see finish options.

Okay so it looks like they fit nice(as long as the picture above doesnt have a shortened rear and is the same backspacing). Now all I need to know is a price, and the models that will be available for order under 2k.

are the prices different from style of wheel (without rivits) in the Iforged in the 17's? And as price comparrison to the fikse's 17's. I am infatuated with both brands. I don't have alot of cash to blow on a set of wheels so I want to make sure I get the ones I will be satisfied with in the years to come. What do you think would be a better buy in other words. One other thing, do both brands (fikse & Iforged) offer a 17x 9 & 17x11?

Nine Ball, I would be very interested in the Classic design for my T/A, as I told you in a private message. Let me know if you can get me a set of Classic for under 2K. I'm looking at the 1st week of March 08 or after that. I want to use my income tax $$ for the wheels. If it needs to be sooner I can figure something out.

Thank you, Eddie 17X8/ 17X10

Tony posted earlier that you can get the wheels without rivits for a lil less $$ on any wheel.
I have to admit the rivits were a pain in the A$$ to clean on my other set.

Thanks, Eddie
Im running 305/35/18 nitto 555II's with DMS springs on a 18/10.5 chrome 3pc wheel no rubbing issues. Also here is a pic of the front "18/9.5" to see the different lip size. That is what you get when you dont order a custom backspace.
