Wheel opinions?

[lsxgmc]

I put winter tires on my stock rims when I bought my car back in January. Spring is here so I figure I should get some rims on order for my all season tires. I'm torn right now, I like the look of the konig incident but they would be a longer wait. The SE10 in silver or black are more readily available. I know the silver would look ok. I'm not sure about the black with polished lip in 15", I know with a larger (17" rim) it would probably suit the car well. I haven't really found much to compare to as far as pictures go. Anyone have an opinion on these options?

go there,

out of this 3 choices, i will pick konig incident for your ride, what size are you looking, and are you going to lower the car?

if you gonna lower it,,, go big or go home . 17" would be nice if you lower.

The car will be staying stock height. I just use the car mainly for my 200km round trip commute to work, and it's already pretty sketchy with any amount of snow on the highway. Aside from that, Saskatchewan's highways eat up lowered cars in a hurry. The rims will be 15" to make use of the factory all season tires. The only way I could have justified going up to 17" is if I found a good deal on a usedrim and tire set for cheap.

If I get the incidents, it will be through discounttiredirect. I'd have to wait a while though, their duty/brokerage/taxes are a deal breaker when shipping to Canada. But I've got to go down to the border in 5 weeks or so anyway to pick up some intro kingman wheels that are currently being built for my truck.

, dont get them to ship to canada, it cost you an arm and a leg.

find some shipping company around the border, get them to ship there, and you drive to the state,,, pick them up, go to custom declare it, they will charge you for the canadian sales tax.... what is the tax in saskatchewan?


but for your area,,, i dont know of any shipping company that can accept, and hold your delivery.....
i used tsbshipping.com (west coast)

try Drag DR-50 i THINK they weights less..

That's the plan. I've been getting stuff for my 69 GMC resto-mod build sent to a FedEx trade networks in Portal, ND. Saves a pile of money, but I try and order a bunch of stuff at once to make the trip worth while.

not true :P I only have 15" wheels..

Hey rabbit, I think my rear wheels should stick out more,, I am on 45 offset and 6.5 wide,,

Where can I buy spacer? If I put spacer do I need longer studs?

And do I need to get 4 wheel alignment with or without spacer?

[petrified.rabbit]

i would align it with the spacers, but your "factory" setting will read "off" with the additional track width on some machines/

spacers/depending on thickness will need studs or not, depending on what you have or are willing to do. With your wheel size and offset i imagine you want to come out quite a bit. so you may be wider than the studs (which is good) or not wide enough to need longer studs.
