Posted November 13, 200519 yr comment_145752 After a 6 week wait I've finally got my new 17" ROH wheels. 8.5 inch -6 for the front and 9.5 inch -19 at rear to be mounted with 225 front and 255 at rear. Looking forward to picking up the freshly painted ZG flares this coming week to fit that rubber under. Hopefully they'll be on the car by next week!

November 14, 200519 yr comment_145813 Yeh, you would need flares with those phat wheels, like em, going to look massive. $?Glad to see that everyone is following my ZG flare lead :tapemouth Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17998-finally-got-em-my-new-fat-3-piece-17-wheels/#findComment-145813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 14, 200519 yr comment_145817 holy moses! i can't remember the last time i liked a set of wheels and that includes going to the international car show tampa just yesterday. i am exceedingly finicky about what i like and i must say you've got me smileing at what these wheels will look like. good on ya.....also good luck with the sizes. i have 8 inch front and rear with custom flares and when i uped the tire size from 265/50/15 to 275/50/15 (which is .20 inches wider and slightly taller) it blew out the "look".i hope you have a way to know or a very patient tire guy to let you play cause i found it to be very tricky without seeing the tire on the wheel on the car.do you have coil overs?cdavid Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17998-finally-got-em-my-new-fat-3-piece-17-wheels/#findComment-145817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll find out later this week.CheersSulio Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17998-finally-got-em-my-new-fat-3-piece-17-wheels/#findComment-145853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 14, 200519 yr comment_145862 A$1800 a set for big custom wheels is good, thought they would be around $500 each at least. Weight? Yeh avatar car was at the Goulburn Nationals, had only fitted the flares a few weeks before then. Looks a bit silly with the 7" road wheels but good with the 8" track wheels. Yours should look brilliant Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/17998-finally-got-em-my-new-fat-3-piece-17-wheels/#findComment-145862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
