so ive been lookin for some wheels for my 89 single cab im buildin, well i went down to my buddies tire shop to see if he had any stock steelies on anything cool layin around, heres what he gave me. 4 of em, theyre 17x7.5 wide they have some curb scuffs but im gonna fix em and paint em black or charcol
Hmm, they look smooth...bet they will look really killer when you paint them black/charcoal! Don't forget to check the center bore after you verify the bolt pattern.
they are audi. i had my friend measure the lug pattern he said theyll work but im gonna dub check when i get em home tonight, and ill be postin pics to.
In my opinion paint doesn't hold up too well on wheels. I would suggest having them powder coated, at least if you can get a decent deal on it. I would price it out anyway. Just at a glance the center bore looks too small. It needs to be about 2 5/8". That's not really going to be an issue though, since you are going to need some wheel spacers to get them to fit right (also just my opinion from glancing at the thumbnail). Those are front wheel drive style wheels. They would be sunk way into the wheelwell. The look may not bother you, but I think tire clearance will be an issue without spacers. It looks to me like those rims would need at least 1.5" spacers. Anyone else have an opinion on this? Also I personally think these wheels look pretty nice. They definitely don't make me want to vomit... They would look really good powdercoated charcoal, but if it were down to a choice between paint or just leaving them polished (powdercoating was too much $$$ or something) I would just leave them polished aluminum.
