Looking for some Rims

Hey guys, sorry i havent been on the forums lately, i actually got a job!!!!

anyways i am looking for some rims possibly ones you guys are willing to sell but i want to know what they are...

I usually see this rims on older muscle cars, they arent shiny or "Holey" but they are usually Satin/chrome and have a buncha bolt-looking things surrounding the inner rim...

id love a set of these but i dont know what they are or what they run for... any help fellas? Thanks so much!

-Nick

Are you talking about the Centerline Auto Drag wheel? I think they are only available in 15" diameters...the 15 x 8-1/2 is $150/piece from www.summitracing.com if you're interested.

You must be goin' for the muscle car look...you sure you don't want to go with 17" wheels? It's just...that's an IROC...and it's made to handle...why hurt it by putting 15" wheels on it? Regardless, the car will look great, I'm sure...just my personal opinion.

i cant seem to find any 17's. and i dont really know anything about tires....

i was hopin one of yous guys around the forums would have a set that you woul dbe willing to sell... ill post an ad in the classifieds..

im not so much going for the "Muscle Car Look" as the feel, i have all the parts so far i need, i just need to get the time to start ripping **** off and putting **** on... and rims just seemed like the next best thing to get.

I put a set of 17x9.5 ROH wheels on my car...they were $930 for the set shipped from JD Wheels. Of course, you also have to buy tires, so the whole thing ended up costing about $1400 total.

You'd have to strip 'em (they have red inserts), but I've got a set of factory 91-92 16x8 wheels and tires for $500 if you're interested.

I have Draglites

I got Weld Draglites(simular to the Cragar) on my car with 225/60-15 on a 15x7(fornt) and 275/60-15 on a 15x8(back). The only thing I would recomend is having the rear finder well lip rolled under, becasue i did no do so and it ate my tire . These rim cost me $962 with tires from Jeg's. Then mounted and blanced by a local shop. Pictures Below
