Show me your wheels!!!

Hey guys,
I am contemplating getting a set of wheels for the RS. I am having a hard time finding wheels that I like with the fitment that I need. I know I can use spacers... But I would rather not. Start posting pics of your custom wheels. LET ME SEE WHAT YOU GOT!!

Wow, that really looks great! Of course you need a center cap for that rear wheel, but still, thats a beautiful clean 'Bird.

I would love a set of those 18" irocs, if only they made them larger than 8" wide!! They just do not look good in the sizes they come in, IMO.

I agree with you on that one. but if you check out www.rwclassics.com or www.oasiswheels.com you can get the IROC wheel in an 18"x8.5 size! this is where i got min from and they were well worth the money. and these wheels are made in the U.S.A. not in China!!

No wheel thread would be complete without at least one person showing off the ROH Snypers So here they are. These are 17x9 Snypers that bolt right up with no spacers






No over 3 pics worries, the pics are linked
