WTT 17x9 +42 Rota Grids with new tires for 17x8
So, Against my better judgement and against the recommendations of some on here I went 17x9 instead of 17x8.
These are brand new Rota Grids 17x9 +42 5x100 in Full Royal Sports Bronze. Almost looks like a dark gold. These have 235/40/17 bf goodrich G force tires with less then 200 miles on them. The tires still have all those little frilly things attached to them.
9" wide is just too much for my roads
I love the look and wanted to drop the subie to blend with the wheel/tire set up but I think 17x8 is just a better set up for me.
Whole set up costs me 1700 and change.
Lets see what you have!

Well I'm up in Grass Valley which is way north of Sac (But I drive to the bay area a lot so don't be afraid to make an offer if your down in the bay!) anyway, the roads up here are crap and just pull these things every which way.
If I don't find what I want I'll just drop on lowering springs and do a little camber to tuck them in. I've always liked the look but I've also always feared the handling....

We tried I needed cash on top and it wasn't a good time for him. I totally understand the hard economy but I just couldn't take a huge loss on these. I wish elenor wagon luck on his find though!
