I can't believe the difference new rims made on my car. The ride is much smoother now also. I think the next thing I want to do is lower it.

Since you said the ride is improved and "I think," I'd suggest you at least keep your stock suspension parts in case you change your mind later.

That really looks great Donna! I would like to get a set of new wheels for my car but I just can't convince myself to have a set of Bullitts sitting in the garage. They just aren't worth anything to anyone else.

Thanks for the nice compliments everyone!!

I know all about the bullits sitting in the garage...I have some too now. One of the guys that installed my new ones offered me $400 for the tires and the rims. I probably would have taken the offer at $450 since I would not have had to ship them...

Do you know if they make 17x9 with the correct offset and backspacing?
I'm not looking to buy new tires.

Hey Donna, this is kinda of the subject but I need to ask ASAP because I'm getting stripes tomorrow. I know your strips are 12" but what is your spacing in between?

P.S. - I Love those rims. Good choice!

I think so. I bought them from this seller. He did not have any listed, but I called him and he had this set of 18 x 9 Cragers. They were excellent to deal with and very knowledgable. They were packaged excellent and in perfect condition. I'm pretty sure I have seen 17's in the past.
