I'm spending a lot of time looking for the next set of wheels. I have a set of 17" chrome Bullits on my 69 but now everyone has them!
FR500's would be one choice, allthough I'd need the fronts to be split, narrowed and welded to 8" width. I've found a local shop that can do it at a fair price. NP.
I've also looked at 17" Cragar 342's (steel). It would certainly make for a different appearance and I like the all black look: http://www.cragarwheel.com/catalog_pg8.html.
But it seems they are only available in 0 offset? For the front a 0 offset on 8" means 4.5" backspace = ok. Rears at 9" width would mean a 5" backspace wich is 0.5-0.75" too little....
Thoughts?
