At first glance I liked them but looking closer they have a 'pressed' look about them so now I am not so sure.
Price is keen and sizes are ok, I would have been interested if they came out in a 9 x 17.

Cheers

Any 16's on the horizon for LH/LXs?? Posted Image



hi mate

there are no plans on making a 16" wheel as its getting to hard to find tyres in the right sizes
these days sorry mate

thats why we made the 17" and up wheels so you can have more common size tyres and still
look awsome on your can

thanks for the comments mate


Thanks anyway!

I have 17x7's 4.5" BS streeters and are in need of 17x8" with 5.5" to fit under the rear. Is there any chance you could source me an 8" rim with this offset?

Naa I have a BW diff which is about 10mm wider each side. So I have plenty of room on the inside but none on the outside.

hi ryan

if you want to check if it will go on the wheel offset mesures 140mm from mounting face inside and 140mm outside
so you no how far (if needed) to storten diff but better to get the wheels first then get the diff done

thanks for all your comments been great :)

Yeah so this means that the rim has a 4.5 inch backspacing. A 8" rim is actually 9" overall.

Are you talking about the 20", I won't be putting 20s on, 18s is the biggest rim that actually looks sensible and can be used on the street. Well for toranas anyway.

So is there any chance you can get the 17x8 or even 18x8 with 5.5" backspacing???

Is there anychance the mob in USA that casts them up for you can alter the mould for my application?

Rim width is measured from where the tyre beads sit on the rim. The overall outside width of an alloy rim is usually 1/2" - 1" wider than the rim width.

hi ryan

sorry mate i thought you were wanting the 20x10
the highest backspace we can do on either the 17x8 or the 18x8 is 4.75"
and we wont be able to change the mold just for the 1 set if wheels unfortunaty sorry

if you needed custom offsets we can get a set done in a 2 peice billet in any design we have other
than the streeter wheel if you wanted to check out our website www.showwheels.com.au

thanks for your msg mate

Gday Anthony , I have a question for you .

With your version of the old HK-T-G Hustler wheel can you supply these with black painted spokes instead of that grey colour ?

Thanks.

hi Kockum

we wont be able to do the streeter wheel in black but what some guys have done is get a polished set
and paint the spokes yourself as the polished is a raw wheel just full polished no clear coat so it makes it easier to prep for
paint instead of paying to get the grey striped off and then getting it painted.

thanks for the question mate
