idk why, but this doesnt sound good to me at all.
either you're trying to go flush on steelies,
or you're gonna hack them up and weld sections of a barrel to them.

try some diamond racing wheels. its a steeling that you can get in alot of widths and offsets.

I wonder how the prices are for 17x8 would be. Might work well for a set of drag radials or other track tires

i know that they are really really heavy, but that doesn't matter if you're just going for stance..i'm slammed too, just on stock rims, i just need a cheap way to be flush. you should try some diamonds so i can see if they look good! haha

you act like Rotas are cheap.. they are like $1300 brand new for rims and tires. I know thats still cheap compared to new "real" wheels but you can get a decent used set w/ tires for around $100

^lmao, i paid nowhere near that $1300 for brand new rotas with tires. where ever you're buying wheels from is shafting you worse than the lakers just did the celtics.

Diamond racing wheels are also very expensive when you get up in the 17" category. I dont think this would look to good with the body lines of these cars.

Yeah I don't think It will look good either. Don't go "hellaflush", it's not cool in my opinion.

Diamond Racing Wheels Pro Series
I bought 15x8 for the front, and 15x10 for the rear all for $562 shipped plus Gloss White Powder-coat. Pretty much, and looks clean as ****!
