V-e-r-y W-i-d-e Fuchs for BB2
11x17.
I never really was able to imagine how they'd look. Now they're here. They're very wide wheels.   Tire photos tomorrow.

Holy schmoly...those things look like they'd go on a steam roller!!
Could you provide some background and/or other pics explaining and showing how they were constructed? Are they one piece?

Jack,
Couple of questions? What is the offset of those monsters? I think on your last set, you used spacers to clear the calipers? Same on these? Tinker |

Jack,
Just curious as to the turnaround time on those wheels. I'm interested in some 7's (or 8's? I dunno what's best) and 9's for my car and just wondering how long it takes to get these made up for you. No big deal really as my car spends more time on stands than on tires.......................

Hey Jack...

Too big to fail

RSR wheels - I had a set of those. You're chances of getting naked with Halle Berry are better than those of finding a set of street tires to fit those wheels.
I have a set of 17x11, currently shod with A032R's, which I'm driving on the street to burn them off so I can put something better on 'em.  Quote:

Those are some big feet Jack! Good price too considering the cost of Fikse or the like. Your going to need those to fill out those massive flares.
I stopped by TRE a couple days ago and Tyson was kind enough to give me a tour of the work done on BB2. I was really impressed by the job they did on the flares and the work doe to move the drive drain forward. She's really coming along. The pics posted really don't do the work perfromed on the car justice. It is sort of sad seeing BB1 out in the cold being stripped of her dignity.

Nice, but I still think the they would look better with the satin annodizing rather than polish.
