Your wheels are sweet, not sure how you could make it better!

Polished Salt Flats 17x8f 17x9,5 rear
Just be sure to double check if your brakes will fit.... It looks like on these I'd have to do Stock C5 Calipers with 13" rotors.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

hmm.. i forgot about how big my brakes are.. i THINK they might be 14s with 6piston willies..

[BADNBLK]

14" rotors with 6 pistons... super tight on 17's if even possible.

Maybe the Weld wheels that are made for high caliper clearance. The RT series I believe.

[Z06vet]

Not a 67/68 but maybe it will help. Scott

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

wow, kinda diggin the 17s.. now im worried if they will work over my brakes.. gotta work that out..

these are what im thinking about getting..

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

keep em coming yall!!

[srh3trinity]

I like 17's, but it limits brake size and tire options.

[Z06vet]

I'm running C5 brakes & had to slightly clearance the fins in the front calipers. Depends on the wheel design. Some have a larger/wider recess than others. I test fit another set of 17s before I got the bonspeeds & they fit. I was surprised to find my bonspeeds rubbed slightly.

Can you tell me what brand/style wheel this is? Thanks!!

[rocketrod]

Here is my setup, Budnik Cobalts. In hindsight I wish I went with 18s.

What rims are those?

[Wheel Werkes]

Vengance, your car will look good in 17's because the aggressive fitment you run. Since your setup is not sunken in, it will look great on a 1" smaller wheel with the same size lips. And you may even be able to run atleast 1 series wider tires.
And you have the right vision it in lowering it more with 17s.

I think he is running 19's, but either way you would have to bring it down some with 17's.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

yea they are 19s because while they were being made NewGen told me that they could only make em in 19s.. I wanted 18s and stepped lips.. they could make em in flat lip in 18s but i REALLY wanted stepped.

besides the 17s are supposed to go on my setup with my flares..

Umm because you're like the rest of us and we can't leave anything alone on these damn cars. :)

PM incoming...

[srh3trinity]

I knew this thread would eventually bring up those awesome flares again.

[Murdermerc]

Mr. Vengeance ,
Is Pana the wheel maker or are they a distributor for superlites? Either way those wheels fit the muscular / sinister demeanor of your car perfectly...

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

which ones?.. the ones on there now?

[DButler]

Venegance how much for the 19s? Also i what color is your stripe?

[analyte]

V,
What size tires you running on the 19s now? I didn't realize they were 19s at first glance, and I like the amount of time you have slowing between the rim and road.

Thanks,
Kerry

shoot these wheels were one off so they costed me 5,700 dollars wheels and tires!

And i know for a fact that these are the only ones out there so I was pretty stoked.. but now its time for a change.

I dunno if Im going to throw these on Stormy or sell them or whatever..

The tires are like 295s and 345s if i remember correctly.. and even though they are 19s we chose the tire height to balance out to be over all EXACT height as an 18inch setup..

thats why you didnt realize they are 19s.. most dont and they dont feel like 19s either..

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

and heres the OTHER wheels i thought about running

Jongbloeds.. pronounced Youngbloods.

strait up race spec wheels..

but honestly.. i REALLY want the Panasports rather than all of those.. mainly because of the 3 piece MINILITE look.. and i reiterate 3 piece

[Cole]

Steve Rupp's 17" wheels are for sale on lateral-g

[Murdermerc]

I was talking about the pana's fitting the demeanor of your car. The flares and wheels just added another muscular / toughness. I think the pana's have more of the race style where your current wheels look more showy ( if that's a word) . I am sure they a excellent wheel , and they are stunning I was just judging by looks at the moment.

[srh3trinity]

I think the Pana's are cool, but with the stepped lip and being a full 2" smaller, I don't know if they are going to fit around your massive brakes.
