Hey what do you guys think of these? I just got them and my friend wants a set (painted, not chrome). I may set up a Zenetti Wheel Group buy real soon, if anyone else wants some.
I finally chose these wheels in my long search for something affordable. I refuse to pay more than the something in the low 300's per wheel and wanted something a little different than the nostalgic styles of old. That limited my options quite a bit. It was so frustrating, cause most of the new wheels these days come in the late model big offsets.
I measured carefully with my existing 8 inch wide wheels as a reference to find a combo that would work. These are 18 x 8.5 fronts with a 5.5 backspacing, and 18 x 9.5's rear with a 5.75 backspacing. So, I'll be using a 1/4 inch spacer in back.
The front suspension is all Speed Tech with the Guldstrand Mod. I will be dialing out the adjustable steering stops a bit with this offset, but I like the tires tucked.
I'll be getting the tires tomorrow, so we'll find out soon if I overlooked anything in my measurements.
