Where to get custom made 17" rims??? Help please...:/
« on: June 25, 2009, 03:01:13 PM »

Does anyone know where I can get a rim made in a 17x10 with a 3.75" backspace? I am limited to ONLY a 3.75" backspace for the rear. I can fit the fronts with a 17x8 with 5.72" backspace, as I have the alterkation. I am interested in the mustang style rims with the black centers. Any one know where I can get a rim like that made? Also, I am open to suggestions for other 17" rims, and let me know what you guys think looks good. But I must have 10" wide with 3.75" backspace for the rear. Please help and send pics if yall have 17's....I found some by searching on this site, not many though...

I know, $330 for one wheel is pretty steep, but I had my strange s60 already cut for a 15X10 with 3.75 backspace, and I am limited with that backspace for the rear. I decided to go with 17's instead because tha'ts what I will run with Bill's RMS front end. So, I need a 17 with the same backspace.

But I did find a place...$320 for a rim...@ wheels for less.

I had Fikse build me a set of custom rims.  I think the bill was around $4000 but it was a few years ago so the prices have probable gone up.
