With recommendations of 10.0 and 10.5 for wheel widths and thinking of the weight limit, what brands / models of wheels are out there as we move into R888 territory?

17x9.5 inch is the widest wheel size allowed for AI and CMC-2.
CMC only allows 16x8.
Greg is probably speaking of AI (Mustang?)...there really aren't any lightweight 17x10.5"...they are mostly made for the rear of the newer stangs with a Henke offset so you can run 315's in the rear of a modern stang. They are heavy, not very strong. Other choice is to buy a lot of 17x8 "snowflakes" from 99-2000 cars and have them widened, but again, too heavy and questionable strength. Then there are those sexy 3pc wheels at 500+ each.
F-bodies....unknown.
Otherwise, change your tire selection.
accually Greg Hughs has a 3rd gen CMC car. the old Rich Santos CMC car.
so for other than CMC, i couldnt guess what else he would be asking for.
but Matt, you do know it all, so your likely right w/ the longer sig and all.
he he he... the lovers are fightingQuote:

Noticed? yes
Acknowledged? not so much
It's kind of like Todd posting cat pictures ...
Glenn, why is it Mustang owners want to be like us?
Because you guys are kewl.Quote:

My real question is what kind of wheels are light, cheap and legal for CMC. I have the original IROCs but they seem pretty heavy (haven't weighed them, though).
For old skool CMC (16 x 8), GTA rims are hard to beat.
For the deuce, not sure what 3rd gens will be doing just yet. Need to research that myself. It will have to be later in the year tho.
Wheels America is Dallas sells straight & refinished GTA fronts for $150.
Pick your color.
Order some, Mitch has room.

I think I'm gonna have to make 2 trips ...
You should sell your car and start a hotshot business! LOL!!!Quote:
