rims for a 85
Has anyone bought rims from A.F.S? If so how do they ride, and what tires did you put on them. I've also heard of a place called AAA. How are they?
I would love to put a new set of rims and tires on but don't know what kind of results I would get from going to a 17 inch rim?

Coolvette, I have an '85 and bought a set of AFS wheels last May. Take a look:

Re: rims for a 85 (coolvette)
I bought 4 17x9.5" Grand sport rims from AFS a couple months ago for my 86. The 86's suspension geometry and wheel offset is the same as 85.
They fit perfectly, and I got the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires.
Only thing about them that i dont really like is the number of wheel weights they used to balance them.

See my sig.
$1497.94 was the grand total for wheels, tires, lugs, adapters, mounting/balancing, shipping, tax... everything brand new.
They're 8.5x17s
