Steel vs Aluminum Wheels
I like Rally Wheels. You can see my 15x6 wheels in the pic thread, so no point in posting them here.
I want bigger wheels and tires. Vendors sell Rally Wheels in larger sizes, but they are steel wheels vs the 15 inch that are aluminum.
I have not found any 17x7 Rally Wheels that are aluminum.
So, is going from aluminum to steel wheels a big concern?
What are the negatives?

I agree . . .the cool thing to me is that the wheel is all aluminum, and the center is painted to resemble a standard rallye whee, and the rim is polished aluminum to look like a trim ring. Pop on the standard center, and you're good to go. I've been thinking of getting a set of these for a year or so!

Where have you found 15-inch aluminum rally wheels?

I agree the REV 107 Wheels are very awesome. I am seriously interested. I understand that 17x7 will probably work with 4 inch backspace. I am not sure about offset and trying to figure that out now.
I doubt the 17x8 would work on a car with disk brakes.
The 15 inch are for sale in my very old catalog 2h, p. 178. Probably available elsewhere too.
Does anyone know what size will fit for sure?
