Ok, ya got me, I'm trying to decide if I want these:
MSW Type 16's Which are 16x7.5 or these: ASA AR9's Which are 17x8
Although I'm probably going to go with the AR9's, cuz there are a few ricers running around town with the MSW Type 16's and I don't want to have people thinking I'm with them....
Went looking for tires - found these at a "Disocount Tire" store - discontinued "Momocorse" (don't know who really makes them). They had them in silver and the black - 1 set each 40.00 each wheel! I went back a few days later to get the silver set for the Formula and they were gone. I had looked at a ton of wheels locally and these were the only 17"X7.5" 5X100's in stock in town. The rest were "special order". I was not really looking for wheels but at that price, I could not refuse. We slapped on some inexpensive tires for now but will look into better - (wider rear) tires later on. Sure gives it a way better look.
katatak, those definitely look a whoooooollle lot better.
Thanks.... They really transform the car. Just need to be a little wider in the rear to get that "right" look. I was looking at a GT40 at the Ford dealership yesterday and I was blown away by just how wide the rear tires are on those cars. I'd like to get that look on the XTC. The problem is that it will take a lot more money for the wheels and tires to achieve that "look" - too much for a high school kids daily driver. Thanks again.
hi bob ,the wheels are 18x8 front et13 and 18x9.5 rear with et23 ,thay are 5x120mm bolt pattern or same as chevy 5x4 3/4 ,at this time they are mounted with adapters that are 1 in thick,im rounding up parts to do a hub change and corvette brakes and coilovers to lose the spacers,they will fit nice then rob

Nice wheels! I wanted those, but wasn't sure they'd fit well width wise.
