Input needed....

Looking to pick up a set of wheels for my CD Silver SVT to put summer tires on. Will be leaving my winter tires on my stock 6 spokes. Here are a few of the contenders....

Any thoughts are appreciated in advance!

either the top, or the bottom 2.

personally I'd put the top ones, but thats me.

[hafftrak]

The top one IF it's not dual-drilled.

Someone on here was selling EV7's new.

also tousley has those ford racing ones cheaper.

Don't forget about these viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6479 .

If i were to get the Ford Racing wheels I would be giving steve a call. As far as I know the Advanti wheels are not dual drilled. Drilled just for the 4x108 pattern.

Sorry Hotrod but thats just a bit to rich for my blood. They would look sweet powder coated black tho....

Thanks for the input guys.

My vote goes to the Enkeis. Silver with full black just looks a little off to me. So the chrome lip will set that off, plus they're bronze and not black...

I like the second ones but what stilz says is true although it may be to much chrome for my tastes

I cant do chrome either, but I've seen a pearl white c30 with bronze wheels with the chrome lip and it is just beautiful...

The Advanti V3s are on order (Choice #1), but in a Matte Gunmetal color not the Gloss Black. Hopefully they come in before the Stillwater meet.

My only question is, with the +40 offset will I need spacers at all?

Thanks again for everyone's input.

I was looking at EV5's before too. I just don't like the polished lip.

[Miller]

the +40 is going to bring it close to the fender (I may have this backwards, I get confused easily). Meaning you may have to run a skinnier tire to avoid rubbing the fenders, like a 205 instead of a 215.

[ThatOneBigKid]

I was looking at a diagram and I think you may have it backwards. If I was looking at it right the bigger the + number the closer to the fender. But again I'm not sure

Anyone else know for sure how to read offsets?

[hafftrak]

The lower the number, the farther it will stick out.
