if you are thinking about buying some ,I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole now.I was going to use them ,but the run out was terrible .035 side to side on some,.020 something radially = very crappy wheel.I bought thru summit,went thru 8 yes 8 wheels from the place in cali. sent them all back,ended up with boyds=very happy with the trueness of the boyds.

Vintiques 17"x8"

Didn't measure the runout at the wheel. Don't feel the need since there is no discernable vibration or noise at even triple digit speeds.

CGGorman - I know I have complemented your car before....

But do you know if they maye 17 inch trim rings that you could put on there as well? i can't find 17 inch rings on any website. To me - having the trim ring would make it look just like the original factories - just in a better size.

Some folks like the lip look, personally, I would want the trim rings on there.

Thanks all for the compliments...

Trim rings...by looking through the catalog, it seems they have 14", 15", and 16" trim rings in various depths, but none in the 17" diameter.

My hoops came from a forum member. Dtengle is his handle. He only made a few sets. I think they all gone now. You could PM him.
