Personally, I like them all for different reasons even though they gererally have the same look I'm going for. Knock offs of the Racing Hart C5's, so I love them for the price I really like these because of the deeper lip... The largest these come in are 17, but I really like these too I like the spider like look to these wheels for some reason... 2005 Ford F150 SuperCab FX4 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 1998 CSVT: 354HP/328TQ @ 10 psi, now gone

I likey the first ones, I think they would look pretty sweet on your ride, actually they look pretty similar to the ones in your pics. I not that big a fan of too many spokes on wheels(too much effort when cleaning). Keith P. Killed in action-4/27/06 '99 CSVT #2369/2760-7/28/99 New Recruit- 1998 EO CSVT # soon to come Black 106,xxx

I am also planning on getting prices from your buddy's Big-Oand other places. For the price of a "nice" set from a name brand + so-so tires, I could get a nice set of off brand wheels + good tires AND get new koni or blistien struts AND some brake upgrades. Yes, the Racing Hart knock offs look just like the real Racing Hart C5's that I sold last year. Though, these aren't $1500 and they are gunmetal rather than silver The multispoke wheels aren't as bad to clean like my '64 Impala's wire wheels 2005 Ford F150 SuperCab FX4 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 1998 CSVT: 354HP/328TQ @ 10 psi, now gone

The width and the offset is choice for 235's, and I love the cabbage cutter look with the fat a$$ed lip 2005 Ford F150 SuperCab FX4 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 1998 CSVT: 354HP/328TQ @ 10 psi, now gone

The Enkei's I had I think if you shop around...you can find them for just shy of 200 a wheel...like 195 or 198, so 800 for wheels...I paid 900 for wheels and tires That is with lugs/locks/ center caps, balanced installed, and everything. I know of the Enkei's they charge like 15/ a cap. Pretty much you find the wheels you want and he will get it for you. 98 E0 SVT with some stuff

Im really not a fan of that wheel design, in any brand. Number 3 is by far my fav., and I was looking at those personally until Stazi's wheels came up. I like 1 better than 4, but you have already had 1 (basically) so I guess that makes 4 my second choice by default. #4559 of 6535 born on Feb 17, 1998 Black 1998.5 CSVT FOR SALE [cleaning house]: SVT rear swaybar.

Not sure of the weight though...although I am sure you can afford to add some weight to the wheels...it might actually help!!! I don't know if they come in our bolt pattern, but ADR's seem to IIRC. 98 E0 SVT with some stuff
