Looking to buy some wide wheels...

If anyone has any for sale, I'm looking for something in the 17x9.5 - 18x10 range. Priorities are light, good offset (around 50), strong. TIA.

I have a set of SSR Decolte 3-piece that weigh 20lbs each, 18X8.5 40mm, 18X9.5 43mm offset. Use to belong to Adam Saruwatari, bought by one of those Supra racers, Vince whats-his-name, who had the centers custom powdercoated charcoal. Bought it from him a few months ago, and have Kuhmo Ecsta Supra tires on them now -235/40 and 275/35 - about 6000 miles on the wheels/tires. No curb burns, excellent condition. If you lower your car, I suggest 225/40s up front.

Planning on selling in a few months, when I go wide body (mwahhahahhaha!) and get new wheels with the correct offset for the wide body work, but make me an offer and I can go w/o Bling Bling for a few months...

Still on thier website: http://www.i-m-racing.com/ssrdecolite.html

I like those wheels, but I've already got some Kinesis K10's that'll deal with those widths. I was really just looking form something to run 285's front and rear. Thanks though...

Flux,

What is the offset required to run a 285 in the front. I believe this wheel will need to be created from a blank. If you can give me the exact offsets front rear and rim width I will try and get you those prices.

To my commercial knowledge, I have not run into that fitment, but would love to know. I always thought a 255 or 65 would be the widest up front.

My distributor is still working on those Volk prices, I haven't forgotten.
