Ws6 17"wheels with adapters

Hey all , I put 17" WS6 wheels on my 91 formula using the adapters,I was just wondering if anyone els is using them , and if so how are they on the highway , did you do something different to balance them?

As soon as i get pictures i will post them

I have 4th gen SS rims on my IROC and it feels the road a lot more than before but it didnt feel like it hurt the ride any.

I put C-5 wheels on my car and there were no different steps to be taken to balance the wheels, and I am running 2.5" adapters on all four

One thing you'll notice is the bigger wheels like to grab grooves on the highway. But this happens on every car with big wheels. You get used to it but at first it's a little alarming.

BTW I've got the same wheels. They should of had these stock on birds.

Why did you lock up '85Iroc's message about his tranny and move it to the transmission board, but not lock up this post and move it to the appereance board?

No flame intended, just wanted to know!
