But I do want the ford rims, so I'm gonna pull the trigger soon if the old lady stops spending $$$.

I gots 4 17s that I went thru before the 18s.

Balanced with stick on weights.
None of those ugly clip on weights.
Bout 6 months use on them.
Very minor curbage on one
I just want to get these pups out of the garage asap.
The price is just about right for you...

Curbage is superficial and not structual in any way.
Darn Hardies narrow *** drive thru.
Have not been back since.
I could get a pic today and post it...

Thanks 4 thinking of me 157db, but I'm sure its not fun to have to ship these to FLA!!! I just got the green light from the old lady for some performance mods (that is the $$$ for it), so I'm gonna take that and run over the next few weeks and hopefully get what I want. If I do get the different rear with posi, then I probably need the extra rubber width to keep it straight on the road, LOL!!! But right now on our budget its one thing at a time, err, agh,, 3 for her, 1 for me at a time... recently remarried, it takes a while to get back to 1 at a time, haha..
