so with a 7" wheel, around 17mm is a good ofset? If so, the Track-R's would work

nice!

I don't know if I'm willing to spend $500 on wheels now though. I mean, I have the money, I just think it could go towards better things for my car. Will they be available in 4x110 later on, or is this a one time thing?

I think those wheels look gross...I would take some of the other wheels though if they could make our size...that way I could sell those bolt adaptors

what offset do you recommend?

I just bought some nice wheels for that much, and they still need to be restored

I think I might be up for something

It looks like most everyone needs a different type made.

I am in for some D2 if the price is right. What is the chance of getting a larger lip for a wider stance on a widebody car?

Hmm the more I look at them the more I like "Flight"

They have that old school feel when you look at the centers. My "Rotor" centercaps would look great with them.

Cragars to me hav toooo much of a musle car feel to them. They will look great on my 62 Impala but i think they would look crappy on an FB (almost too redneck ish...but again thats how i see them).
