I also was considering these. I love the dish and split five spoke design. But I just don't care for the new style where the end of the spokes curve in like this one.

They do that to get a deeper dish.

Then when you go to 18x9 and 18x10 the price goes to about 650/wheel fronts and about 750/wheel rears. And that's with a high polish that costs an extra 55 a wheel for clear coat so you won't have to continue polishing. So that brings it to 1400 for the fronts and 1600 for the rears. That's getting up there.

CRAP!!!! I may just have to suck it up and spend more than I planned. I just didn't want to.

I really think a 8in wheel would look good in front especially with the right back spacing.

Yeah.....it's just a little harder calculating backspacing in millimeters like they do now. And I can't stand that "sunk-in" look. Plus, I like to have as much tire as possible up front also. But, if I knew the spacing would be right...I'd consider it.

I LOVE this wheel.........

I post over at protouring.com and they are a sponser. Boze seems to be real helpful and will work with you on the backspacing plus if you register over on pro touring then I believe you'll get a little discount. BTW 1" = 25.4mm if you need to convert the backspacing.

Thanks man.

Is that web address correct? I tried protouring.com and it's not coming up.
