  • "New" wheels are in.

    FedEx dropped these off today at my Dad's shop. Had to empty almost 1/4 of a dumpster's worth of popcorn lol!

    They're Speedline Mistrals, aluminum and around 20 lbs. 17" x 9.5"

    Gotta get them refinished and I'll put another speedline logo on them. They're reflective so I gotta find a good place to get them.

    I can't find any pics of these in the 5 lug pattern, but there are a few 4 lugs and also the 3 piece wheels out there too. Not sure about the production numbers or how rare they are but they're freaking awesome looking!

    What do you think of Gunmetal or Anthracite wheels on a Maroon car? I'm thinking white logo, but a body colored logo could work...

    I hope you didn't pay to much for those, if the finish looks that bad some of them might be bent so check on that. I just bought 5 SS wheels on craigslist for $350 and one of them was bent...guess thats why I got 5 of them. The 17'' SS wheels are amazingly light as well.

      those will look sweet when you get them redone,
      i vote gunmetal with a body colored logo, it will look cool without standing out as much as the white.

                Thats true I lost 2 SS rims due to chrome flaking away and rusting , came from FL. but I just used the other 2 rims 17 X 9 for my M.T. drag radials 275/40/17's, and they weigh about 45LBS fully aired up , my front Prostars are 30-35LBS and my DD's ZR1's are 50-51 LBS.
