Smile Think I found a wheel I like.. Pic. :)

I have been looking for a while, have always like the older style welds.. I am going for a more of a street machine ride now, instead of the bling.. What do you guys think about these wheels.. I want your opinions.. I am thinking of 17x8 up front and 17x10 out back if i ever decided to buy.. I am looking around now for some 16x10 steel wheels for slicks... What you think http://www.streetdreams.org/wheels/r...%20II/Polished

You know I love the Welds
Mine here:



The ones you picked will be a hell of a lot easier to polish, keep clean.

I've always liked those wheels. They look good on anything, and while they're common, not as much as the 5 spoke types like Cragar SS's and Torque Thrusts. Definitely good for a "street machine" look, but be careful. I've heard those are very light and tend to bend in potholes. Excellent choice though.

You think they are rated for East of 1000hp?

I have always liked those and Convo Pros, although the Convos are a bitch to keep clean.
