Just got done mounting the 315 Kumho autocross tires and bolting them on the car. The fronts are 17 x 9 1/2 with 275s on them.

Jerry

 

Holy crap thats perfect. and they look to have the stock finish? Way better then the billet set ive seen.

 

thats pretty cool. I assume the centers were cut out and adapter to new hoops? Hate to know what that cost. But seems well worth it, has the stock look, yet much improved and stealthy

 

Nice. What bs did you go with on the 11s?

Who & How did they put the 16" centers in a 17" hoop?

 

Once again Jerry sets the watermark… Nicely done Can’t wait to see it in person!

 

sex.

 

That shop might be getting some traffic pretty soon. Who did it and how much Jerry?!!

 

Very nice. Looks like the times are going to drop some more at Adams.

 

I did the first set start to finsh, The next six I had a local wheel company do the lathe work and I did the mill, tig and finish work myself. With that its hard to set a price on them.

Jerry

 

even more impressive doing it yourself. Well done.

 

I made them 6 inch to be a bolt on set. With how low the car is and how big the Kumho XS are ( very big for a 315 ) i think some wheel tub work and new 7 to 7 1/2 wheels are not to far away. My 92 has 12 inch wide wheels with 6 inch back space and the rear end is narrowed 3 inches on each side.

Jerry

 

That's amazing. They look killer too

 

I don't say this word often ... Spectacular!!!

Mike

 

Those wheels look great. Gotta do something with mine.

 

Oh wow those are really nice. Great job. They look really aggresive.

 

That is an amazing job...the lips and the finish look perfect. Wish I had your talent...

 

When I move to socal in Dec/Jan, Im going to find you and $mooth talk you into doing my crosslaces.

 

always impressed by your good work/craftsman ship . i think all the fellow so cal third gen guys are ganna want a set of these lol ill have to check these out in person.

 

Two thumbs up Jerry, I just might have to do 2 11's and 2 9.5's after seeing those pics. Let your boy know that might be a possibility. We'll talk more about it later after you talk to him.
Thanks,
Mike S

 

Amazing work, I like these better than the overpriced flashy versions posted here a while ago.

 

Thats pretty impressive work you did there the car is going to look great when done.


Would be awesome to see a set like that done.

 

I like those!No,i take that back...i love those!Ronals and the stock '91-'92 wheels are my favorite wheels for these cars,i happen to own both.I would gladly pay you to do the same to my stock 16" wheels!I have a new favorite after seeing your wheels,very nice work.Let me know when you want to make some money and i'll get the ball rolling finacially.Although if i were you i might just do them for myself only so as to be unique,you know damn well nobody else has a set and thats a cool feeling!

 

everything has a price to it and u know yours. lets us know, u might be in business for months off these. i know folks who need your services.

 

Man!! That looks sick!! I wish I had the money to do my '91 wheels like that. Need another set to practice on?

 

I'd spend some hard earned money on a set, but I were you, I'd hold out on making a set for anyone at any price just for a little while, you know,to be exclusive....exotic even.

 

Thanks for all the neat comments. I do Third Gen stuff just for fun, and no way will it ever be a business for me. With that said, it would be fun to have another set out there and I had a great conversation with mikesanto70 and we're working on a plan to get him a set.

Jerry

 

great job on those rims....very stealthy but bad ***...its good to be different

 

i would pay the price your askin lol how can i do this or where can i take em?

 

The wheels look great. I would love to get a set made when I get back from Afghanistan. They would compliment my ls3 swap.

 

..sounds like a very rewarding experience.

 

Dig the idea; hate the 91-92 wheels... hehehe

 

The 91-92 are you love them or hate them wheels.
Right now we are getting ready to start 10 more 91-92 wheels and 2 GTA wheels. I hope the GTA wheels workout with the new way we are doing them, doing them the old way will not work. Now for one more love them or hate them wheel, at are last club meeting one members was asking if the snowflake formula wheels can be done, and after looking at them i think the formula wheels will be very easy to do.

Jerry

 

Wow!! Excellent work!

 

Please do tell more on the GTA wheels? I have a set I would love to get done as you have the wheels int he pics.. 17 x 9.5 and 11. I understand you won't do them but do you know of a place that does?

 

Stay tuned on the GTA wheels. We should know in a week or so if this will work. I understand one wheel showed up today. Maybe the next one will show up tomorrow. If so then off to the wheel shop for a brain storming session.

 

Hey jerry, if I sent you a set of 91-92 wheels what would you charge for this? I can send them post haste!!!

 

Wow! I know a lot of road racers that would LOVE a 17x9 or 9.5 GTA wheel. Keep us informed!

 

In this particular application we are going for a 17x11 wheel as they are going on the rear. I will inquire about a 17x9 wheel.

 

I would be highly interested in knowing how these sizes work out on the GTA wheels and cost associated…. 17 x 9 -9.5 and 17 x 11. I have a set of 4 I can send last night!

 

I didnt think this could be done with GTA rims. I recall PMng back n forth with Jerry more then a year ago asking about doing my GTA rims in a 17inch hoop.

If its doable now , I know what I'll be buying again and sending his way is he plans to do more.

 

I am taking one wheel to the shop tomorrow and have a brain storming session. The other wheel has not shown up yet. Both wheels shipped the same time in the same place but arrival is days apart. Should have an answer soon as to whether or not we can convert 16" GTA wheels to 17". I will ask about 9" widths also.

 

awesome! always was a big fan of these wheels, making em' bigger and better is just icing on the cake

 

Okay, we had a brain storming session this morning. The bottom line is maybe. The problem is the design of the GTA wheel being different from most other 16" wheels. Just looking at it one would say it can't be done. However I have donated a rear wheel for experimentation purposes. So we may have an answer in two weeks or so. The shop is real busy with the SEMA show coming up so that is the delay with the project and of course we have to get in line.

They will be looking into an alternate method of doing the conversion to 17". So I would say there is a 50-50 chance. There are two sizes of 17" rims readily available. Those with a 9.5" spacing and those with a 11" spacing. The preliminary figures for maximum back spacing is a around 8" with the 11" rim and 6" with the 9.5" rim. All this is subject to change once the machining is done and the real numbers can be computed.

So lets keep our fingers crossed.

 

Those look bad*** very nice job. Would like to see what the GTA wheels look like, hopefully the coin lands heads up for them.

 

Jerrywho,
Sent you a PM in regards to these wheels. Please respond.

Thanks,
Bennie C.

 

Starting to think this isn't possible for the GTA wheels... damn.

 

Many companys already do this. Found one that widened or shoten 1-4 inches for $300 ea.

 

They narrow or widen wheels, yes (1"-3", never seen a place that does 4"). But not change diameter. A 16" x 11" wheel would be easy to have, but there is really no point in doing that. Not much selection for wide 16" wheel tires.

 

"Starting to think this isn't possible for the GTA wheels... damn."

Still waiting on the wheel shop. The guy keeps telling me next week but here it is next year.

 

Subscribing, I would love to see the GTA wheels made.
