ahh, i am here too. how much did you pay? how many miles? i am trying to see how much to pay if i find one. if you change your mind about selling, let me know.

 

i think the yellow car is riding on 18s. the black one below looks to be 17s. I really like these. i will probably get them when i get my car.

that black one you have pictured is riding on 17's made by Work Wheels. 7.5" in the front and 9" in the rear it says.

Useless tidbit: The Group A starion (flat body) used in the japanese endurance races used Work Wheels.

Hey Jerry, I think you can get those from here:

I am going to want to get some big wheels pretty soon also but i am not about to caugh up $3000 for them and then worry about them being stolen.

 

here is what i am thinking of doing. let me know what you think.

the mustang bolt pattern is the same as the starions and they have tons of wheels available to them. the only problem is the offset and its not that much off. for the back, it needs a 1" spacer and the front is pretty much ok. if you want to make it perfect, it needs a 1/4" spacer in the front.

 

cobra R replica 17x9 and 17x10.5 are just $650 and will fit perfectly when using coilovers and the spacers just mentioned. or saleen style 18x9 and 18x10 for $750 which need 1" spacers in the front and the back.

the only thing remaining for me to do is to find out how much these babies weigh. the spacers are less then $200 and look something like this:

here are a couple of other wheels options.

these guys make custom offsets:

i like these also. they seem like they should fit. i am trying get a hold of someone there to verify the offset of their Brock B2:

Jerry, just got off the phone with Boyd wheels. these guys make wheels similar to centerline but they are much more into custom work and usually into hotrods. they actually have some really nice and modern billet wheels now. they are very light and of excellent quality. i thought they would cost more. 17" 9s 10s or 11s  or anything in between. cost: between $330-370 depending on size. any offset you like on any of their designs. looks like a very good deal for very good wheels.

 

check them out: they are here in los angeles.

oh, the "exclusive wheel" on their site was made for some baseball player and were about $15k for the set so dont call them about it even though its really nice.

Those appear to be Panasports... about $350 a wheel if I remember correctly for the 3 piece 17's

 

Also, many of you who like the simmon's wheels should consider CCW's, they are the same style, but about 60% the price. For $350 a wheel you can get any diamater, offset, width and boltpattern   www.ccwheel.com

I contacted CCW already. the price he gave me for the 17x9 F and 17x10 R was $1750-1850. i think the $1850 is the street version and comes with a center cap and the race version is the cheaper one. not a bad deal, but the Boyd is a better deal at $1400.
