Aftermarket wheels in America?

I was just wondering what wheels were availible in USA that people have came accross. I found a set on Tire Rack for cheap but did not like the design. Also for anyone looking for lowering springs they had some on tirerack for cheap that I am going to buy this week. As soon as I get them installed I'll post before and after pics up.

wheel spacers means better selection

my ebay store shown two different 3 > 5lug adaptor spacers enabling the mounting of almost any wheel design within the physical limits of the wheel opening.



thanks for all your continuing support

That's were I got my 17" Schmidt Spacelines 7.5 195/40 front 9.5 225/35 rear. They fit fine no rub anywhere. I don't have my springs yet, but I don't think there will be an issue. Check out my gallery. I searched high and low and couldn't find anything I liked better even in merc 5 lug. I wouldn't have bought these if they hadn't come out with the 17". But everyone likes diff wheels, these just looked best to me.

Yes Bobby BRD andGiantKiller bought their sets from Fog City Performance. They aslo own the mentioned shop out Las Vegas. The Schmidt Space Line wheels are in stock. You may want to give them a call direct on (415) 229-3191 or (702) 505-4814 for Las Vegas. They import the wheels and wholesale them through Dealers.

We sell 3 to 5 lug adapters that will allow you to fit just about any 5x112 (Mercedes Pattern) wheels. 17's seem to be the most popular and reasonable upgrade.

Holla if we can help.

Cheers,

Johnny
