Year One cast aluminum 17x9 Rally II wheels

Anyone here have these on a 3G 'Bird?
https://www.yearone.com/Product/DisplayProduct/296203
I'm thinking of buying these or the 17x9" Snowflake wheels for my T/A. I've seen pics of the Snowflakes on a 3G and I like them a lot, but I have not seen the 17x9" Rally II wheels on one...Anybody here got pics of a car with 'em on it?

Thanks,
John C.

I've always liked the Rally wheels, and it's neat they have them in a 17" size....but for that price...not so much.

With outfits like Year One and Classic, although they have quality stuff, thier markup is outlandish...I wouldn't doubt there's at LEAST a 50% markup on those. Just sayin.

Re: Year One cast aluminum 17x9 Rally II wheels

Yeah, I hear you loud and clear, and I agree. That's the problem with these companies that know they are the ONLY one that has what you want. They have that advantage over people like us who can't buy what we need / want anywhere else... Just had my driver's seat re-covered by a local upholstery shop which happened to have just enough of the correct light grey pallex (sp?) material left from a job they did years ago. Luckily, they made me a good deal on what they had already because they said that thier "specialty" supplier had the original material and if they were to buy it from that place, it would be $140+ / yd, PLUS shipping! Can you say highway robbery? Ended up getting the driver's seat done for $308 total. Still a little high, but, what else can you do? Didn't need any other seats done, they're all still like new...so, no sense in buying an entire set of aftermarket covers to get one.
