WTB: 17 inch Wheels (SS or other)

Posts : 45 Join date : 2014-08-04

Tired of the 15's. Nothing but crap tires available. Want 17s. SS wheels would be best, but I'll go with any 17s that don't suck.

Let me know what you have.

You can get 17 inch steelies from Jegs. Crager soft 8 wheels PN 260-3978850 or 260-3978950. They even have the correct backspacing.

You can also find 17" Ridler wheels new for $600 on eBay. Not a bad deal, I'm certainly considering a set. About $1100 with tires I figure.

Ridlers look nice,.. but do NOT buy chrome,..the spray on chrome is exceptionally poor quality

I,m on the 2nd set replaced under warranty, and they started pitting within 30 days,.

Good point, I saw that thread. That sucks. I have seen enough chrome wheels pit that I avoid them these days.
