So I'm gonna purchase some used wheels and I'm torn between a set of
18" forgelines http://www.forgeline.com/products/performa...18inch-only.htm or 17"CCW classics http://www.ccwheel.com/wheelprofiles-display.php?id=Classic I plan on ordering inner barrels and converting the whole set of wheels to 11" wide so widths don't really matter. So basically, my question is which size wheel would you guys go with the 18's or the 17's? Forgelines or the CCW's ? Prices are about the same. . . Help me out guys, is there a clear winner (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) ? |

Personally I like the look of black center classics on a black car, just personal preference. But how do U mean three piece wheels are a pain ?

So do I, but I just like the outers/lip to be black (or comp gray) as well, not polished/chrome. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The initial torquing of all of those bolts, and then the periodic re-torquing/checking of them (depending on how stressed they get from hard use/bad roads, etc.), cannot be fun times! I believe the seals between the sections also have to be replaced periodically, on a schedule as well?? This post has been edited by dailydriver: Apr 26 2012, 10:21 PM |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I like the polished look lol (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) BUT, now that you mention it I think the comp grey barrels would look good to . . . so maybe when I get bored of the polished, or tired of polishing . . .I'll have that done (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) On to the next issue lol Turns out the classics I bought are the old style classics, they only have 20 bolts holding the halves together. The current design has 30 bolts so . . . I either need to pic up couple sets of OLD style barrels or buy a pair of 17x11 classics off of someone . . . . any other ideas are welcome. . . Suggestions Please ! ! ! ! P.S. I tried to post a WTB add in the classifieds and it wouldn't let me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
