17" Chrome Lorinser Speedy

[UDEVL]

Thanks for the info Darren. You guys do great work over there at Wheel Specialists. I've seen a few of the smarts you worked on and they all look great! This one I have to say looks the best. You can't beat the chrome!

Sorry for the confusion. Because we are a wholesale distributor you may qualify for a wholesale price if you have a legitimate business with a resale license in the automotive industry. Please call us if you have any questions.

thanks Darren

I guess the last time you bought wheels and tires was in 80"s?

You are looking at 17x6.5 +24 offset with 215/35ZR17 Falken FK-452 on the front and 17x7 +15 offset with 225/35ZR17 Falken FK-452 on the rear. The wheels are hub centric and are available in both brilliant silver paint or Chrome plating. They fit great with NO rubbing issues and use the O.E. pressure sensors. Call us to see what price level you qualify for.

actually no, I just bought 2 sets in the last 6 months...
I bought a set of 22s for my 72 caprice for $1700. brand new rims and tires.
I bought a set of 24s for my escalade. $3000 for rims and tires.

and now I come to find out that a tiny set of 17" rims costs $2400 for RIMS ONLY, NO TIRES???????!!!!
THAT IS INSANE!!

There are about 800 chrome 17" rims on superbuytires.com for under $200 each. Problem is that none of them fit the Smart Car. These rim manufacturers need to start adding the smart bolt pattern to some of there rims. Can't be too hard to drill 3 holes!

Keep in mind, these are high end lorinsers and falken tires. You get what you pay for.

we havent even started talking about tire prices yet. were talking about $2400 for just the rims. I will order a nice set of 17s from somewhere for around $700 and install them with adapters.

Right now I do not have any locks with the 15mm head. I only have one with a 17mm head so it will not match the other. We can supply a expandible breaker bar and a 17mm socket for it though and you can have a locking bolt that works anyway.
