2-piece billets, not a bad price for the 4 and shipping is free.
I have a set of the 17" x 9 before they were discontinued over the 18"'s. I prefer more rubber between the rim and the road.

$2195 for a set of 4 billet 18" aluminum wheels in the style you want with custom backspacing included delivered to your door = a bargain.

Here's the link- http://www.ebay.com/itm/18-PROWHEELS...FWNAMQ&vxp=mtr
My opinion, as if anyone asked for it  , is that the 17" cast snowflakes look a thousand times better!

The 17" cast wheels
The 17" cast wheels are ok but I need a deep dish for the rears and different offsets , and also /7" drag radials are very hard to come buy with a tall tire , the eBay billet wheels look like a super nice wheel and a good price but I don't want to be the first one to get um

18" billets have a smooth lip while the 17's on the t/a are "stepped".

What motivates the change to bigger rims?
Is the change from 15 x 7" to 18" rims done for just improved handling, or just the looks? |

Modern braking. You're not fitting a 13" brake behind a 15" rim. Looks are always subjective but IMO 17, 18 and 19" wheels look at home on these cars.

i agree 17 & 18" tires are far better than 15" but, the 15" bfg is not "the best you can do" for 15" tires, there are a few newer tires offered in 15" size with better tread design & higher speed ratings. one that is a great value & has the same solid white letter looks of a bfg is the mickey thompson s/t radial.
for the price those ebay billet snowflakes look like a very nice rim & half the price of year ones. |
