panamajack Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Are there any 17x8.5 or 17x9 wheel choices out there for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yes, there are some 17x8.5" wheels. 5Zigen makes some, SSR, Volk Racing. Just don't put a 225 tire on a wheel that wide. I love seeing people with wide rims, but it makes me cry when they put skinny tires on... lol -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
