Pic's of wheels without spacers please.

I'm going to lower the car much more and I'm looking for some new wheels . The one's are looking dated so looking for 18s-19s but not any factory look wheels like vette etc. But I dont want to run spacers . I have used them the past and I know there ok but I dont like the way look. So if any one has any pics that would be cool. Here is what I have now 17x8 they were cool back in 01. lol .Thanks

Wheels look good John! Do you have any plans to get the car repainted? If so, are you going to keep the same colors?

That second picture reminds me a lot of the Simmons F-series. Very nice.

Thanks Aaron! I do plan on it and yes they will retain the same color scheme. My plan is to get it done around tax time next year.

Those look awesome! What tires you running? Any reason you didn't do a 9" wide up front?

Thank you buddy. I'm running Michelin PS-2s. 255/35 front, 295/30 rear. My wheels are pretty wide they were assembled in 8 inch form, but actually take on a 9 inch look, if that makes sense.

Bonspeed GT-B. I think the backspacing is 5.25 for the front, and 5.75 for the rear. I'd half to double check that.
