I still want to look into a 17x7 and 15x10 if it will clear my Wilwood front brakes.

I think it will look cool with a 205/50-17 and 28x10.5-15 slick.

Ok cool. I had a set of Budniks built a while back and they were able to clear them with no issues on an 18x9.

Like i posted b4



205/50-17's are cheep they start at 55$ on tires-easy.com

205/50r17 = 25.07 x 8.07 with 17x7
315/35r17 = 25.60 x 12.4 with 17x11

Thats would be SICK!!!!!!!!! Time to start saving!

as soon as i get my hands on 2 they will be posted on a car.

Honestly, Soap and water, forget cleaners and polish them once and awhile and your all good.

i have some billets on my DD and use soap and water and honestly dont have issues with them.

We are looking at possible getting a set of these for my brothers 80 Ls1 powered Malibu. These should really wake the appearance of the car.





This is going to be a super nice wheel setup and I may look at doing the 17" fronts on my LT1 and run big brakes

HAHAHA find me a web guy to load it up like the past 4 have said they will. seems there always quick to get the work and quote the job, and tell you HOW hard it is and how much time it will take. then never produce......


As of now the Smallest 17" is the 17x7.
