Cool GOTTA GO WIT DEM 17's

I'm pretty sure I'm going with the 17" wheels I've talked with a few friends with similar tire & wheel combo's that I'm interested in purchasing and they don't have a problem with wheel damage on these Louisiana roads. Plus that'll leave me enough room for larger brakes. ANYONE KNOW A GOOD WHEEL WEBSITE???

just picked up the wheels today.........i won't have pictures until the car is finished in february.


some 17's will let you go larger........not all of them.

as for larger brakes...yes if you consider two piston large enough. anything other than that like the 4 piston that is becoming more popular and cheaper you will need 18's.

what kind of website are you looking for?

Cool THANKS

The calipers I want are the two piston calipers. That's enough braking power for me. I'll only be pushing 450hp or so . I'm looking for a website that has a nice selection of chrome WHEELS.

there isn't any one website that is better than another.........i'd look for pictures on the internet and go from there just searching yourself.

450 is alot of power........especially if it's rear wheel. if you can afford that kind of power you should have no problem picking up a baer, wilwood, 1-le,etc. 2 piston or larger setup.

just make sure you take into account what brake setup you plan to go with before you pick your wheels.

good luck.
