Hello everyone,
been a while since ive been on here. I've had my car for about 9 months, i think its time to do something with this heap. My first part of the project is to get some black 17" wider rims (225), then new brakes, along with the BAT kit to lower it. (good plan?) I have a 2000 black svt and i'm looking for all black rims, no chrome. I dont want these asian wheels on my ford any longer. i'd like preferably a thick 5 spoke design, somewhere along the lines of a stock svt rim, but 17''s. Anybody know a good place online? I've searched and i can't come up with anything other than ebay, any help would be appreciated. Thanks - Niggs

what would be considered a light weight rim? 18lbs-19? I need something similar to those, those look like they'd be nice with a lowering job, i'm not trying to sacrifice any power though. AHH help! any good sites you guys know of?

18-19lbs? Heck no. 16-14 is more like it.

Remember for every pound of sprung weight you remove, the double coeficient squared by the inverse of gravity cubed divided by pie (mmmmmm...pie...) multiplied by the Paris factor (traditionally seen as 2x1)........well, anyways, its a good thing for handling.

Unfortuneatly, it seems that for every lb lighter, $$$ increases significantly. Keep an eye on Ebay, the CEG classifieds, and even Focaljet.com for deals.

Look here - these wheels are just a tad under 17 lbs, and are relatively inexpensive ($125-$140 depending upon where you get them from). I have these (in Gunmetal) on my car for a little over a year. Click the link on my sig for a view.
