17x9 fourth gen WS6 wheels. After seeing the old pics of Zepher's car I had to have em. Now if I could just afford tires. Yikes!

Those will look great, try www.tirerack.com for good deals on tires.


How is the door handle project coming?

 

nice rims, i think its funny that you bought the rims but dont have money for the tires.Lets see some more pics of the car esp the nose.

 

They look good, how much did you pay for them?

 

Those will look awesome! I agree that after seeing Zepher's car with those wheels, I also think they look great. Slap some Eagle F1's on those wheels and you'll be set to go.

 

nice wheels. i like those better than your old ones.

 

9D1: a lady I work with has a son that manages a Discount Tire store, so I'm gonna try to get a hook-up. If not, I'll probably go through Tire Rack.

I just posted a thread about the handles, as you were the second person to ask about them.

Nolan: I was joking about no $ for tires- although I am going to have to sell my current rims/tires to fund the new tires. I could use the existing tires (they've only got 1500 miles on them) but I want to go bigger. They're 255/40/ZR17 & I want 275/40's.

WillWood: What did you pay for your wheels? I bought these on eBay last week. They are from a 1-owner 97 T/A. He took them off the car when it had under 2000 mi. to put custom rims on-- and they are MINT. They came with centers, all the factory lugnuts with the plastic trim caps and the GM wheel locks and key. Shipped to my door for $ 515.00. I didn't think that was bad at all.

 

Excellent choice!!! You should check out my site in the sig for an idea of what they'll look like mounted up!! I got lucky and found the polished 17"s for cheap (well, cheap enough!). And I know what you're talking about when you talk of expensive tires.........I was forced (financially) to drop a size(275/40 down to 255/40).

I'm working on getting some better pics up, I just had it painted about a month ago (same color) and it looks sooooo much better now. Once again, good choice on your wheel selection!!! Later!

those are going to look sweet.

 

Good choice! Can't wait to see them on the car!

 

Yes thats a very large improvement over the wheels on the car now.

 

actually i kinda like the old wheels better....they look a lil bit different than other cars on here....just my .02 even so the new ones look good too

 

Very nice, I like them a lot more than the old ones.

 

Looks good and you got a nice deal on them for $515 shipped.
Most people want $600 for the wheels + shipping.
Can't beat my price though, $225 for a mint set.



Oh, and for tires, I would save up and get the BFG G-Force T/A KDW 275/40/17 tires. Awesome tires,

 

So does that mean your selling your old rims??? If so PM me with some details!

 

If you didn't have them before, you know you will now need 2" spacers. Very nice wheels by the way. I was looking at them before I got mine.

 

SLOWFIVEOH: you've got mail.

87GTA: I bought a pair of 2" adapters and I've got a lead on a 4th gen rearend. Thanks for the heads-up though.

And thanks to all who dig the wheels as much as I do.
