I've been patiently waiting for this set of wheels to be built for my new street/strip setup. I've always been frustrated by the fact that I can't really run wider than a 255/50/16 on the clk wheels and no one but forgestar made a 17inch wheel option for us. So I ordered up a set of 5x4.5 weld RTS s71 with the intention of machining them to make them work.
I'm pretty pleased with the results. Will get a better photoset next week.
Specs:
17x10.5 rear +45 shaved by a few 'm to pull wheel in
18x8 front
Don't like the idea of wobble bolts on a strip setup. Here is a pic of Chris sir boost a lot's wheel. We did the same thing to mine steel inserts instead of welding and drilling :
That may be the sweetest setup I've seen yet for these cars. Nice job!
Can't wait to see what kind of 60' times you can rip with those!
Thanks man! I had this in mind for a while because I wanted a unique w211 setup but was just about to buy some forgestars because the build time on the welds was longer and I'm not patient.
Glad I waited because I'm really happy with the look and fit and believe it or not the ride quality is awesome now that I'm not on 19s or 20s.
