There are other 16x9.5/10" also, but I'm mainly looking at those because I have a lighter car. 315s all around would probably eat my steering box, very fast

I think it came to $860 for the 16x9.5" that I looked at. Although with something like that you should just get $100-$200 Vette wheels off eBay, if you were willing to live with something like that.

That sounds all better!!
I think I am going to consider that option..

Thanks Dr. Mudge..

 

Dont forget the Vette wheels! 16x9.5" and 17x9.5" are both cheap on eBay, and will be relatively light also. I however have to find my wheels in a 4x4.5" so I dont have that option.

 

if you get 16" vette wheels make sure they are 16x9.5". Those wheels also came in 16x8.5" versions

 

Yep! Good point. If the seller is unsure, make sure they give you two measurements if your not confident they know what they are doing, lip to lip and bead to bead.

I did a quick look at what is on eBay, and the 16 inchers that are on there now are pretty clear in whats what, thankfully. Sometimes though people measure at the lip and think that is the wheel size, when they are measured at the bead (thats the measurement we care about). The lip is almost always another inch than the bead-bead measurement.

 

I picked up 2 used sets of Corvette ZR1's (17" cast aluminum 5-spokes, 19 to 21 lbs per wheel, depending on width) for $600/set.

Probabaly not that common, but used wheels (especially in large sizes if the owner sold the car already) can be great bargains. Heck, I paid and extra $200 on one of the sets (the chrome one) and got GSC's on them.

new is great, but used can really save you some bucks.
