wheels

I love those rims...but I wonder how heavy they are. I have Weld Prostars and the are light as heck..

What size tires are you running front and back? Also what is the backspacing for the rims?

thanks,
Rob

17x9.5's front and rear, all tires are 275/40/ZR17 khumos. They came with the correct offset to fit on a thirdgen without any spacers.

YES! oh my ***...

7 months. and the throttlebody had delivery problems as well. If you need it soon, dont buy from him. He will get you your parts, but in a not so timely manner.

Yeah and that 14.0 was on a slipping tranny and groaning rear end. When I get those fixed I am hoping for high 13's.

That's hardly something that Skulte can be blamed for.

Yeah but he told me it would be two months, then two more, then two more, then another. It just went on and on. If he told me it would be a long damn time, I would have been fine with it. But he didnt even tell me when they werent going to be there, I had to email and ask where they were, and then he would say a few more months.

When you're at the mercy of a factory backorder, all you can do is guess and try to keep your customer happy.

I had a guy pay me in full for a pretty expensive subwoofer box, and then I needed another $40 for the ports. Well, those ports were on a factory backorder. It's been a month and I still haven't gotten them yet. I have no idea why my customer isn't trying to have my ***** cut off, but all I can keep telling him is that I have no idea when they'll be here.
