I pulled the plug and bought a set of 4 17x9 rallye's, Yesterday they had a special price of $125 - I snached them up, don't know wht the special was but I see today they are back up to $220 each. Although they got me for $106 for shipping to montana, so it comes out to roughly $150 a rim, not bad.

That's a smoking deal. Website currently shows 4@$699. Wish I had the coin to grab a set.  Anybody interested in a set of Centerline Telstars with Mickey Thompson STs?

Just checked the price 129.31. Does anyone know if the 17 x 9 with 5 inch BS will fit on the front with stock suspension?

I just hung up with YO.  The lady I spoke to read me an Email saying that the shipping container is in and that wheels will be in-house on the 22nd.  There will be enough wheels to fill all backorders.

Don't shoot me...I'm only the messenger.  :icon_smile_big:

Yep...got my shipping notice as well.  When they get here, I'm gonna drop them off at my local Discount Tire and have a set of Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW's mounted on them.  I'll be picking up the Super Bee from paint next week and I'll just drive it straight there.  :2thumbs:

I got my shipping notice too. Though mine are going to LA then in a slow boat here to Australia.

Again, would love to hear of the quality when someone gets them. Especially if there are any balancing issues.

Fit well and look great. 17x9 on all 4 corners. They nailed the BS with going with a 5". Do wish they were a 1/2" bigger so a guy could run a 295/45r17 on the back. I have since put a 275/50r17 M & H drag radial on the back since this photo. Fills the rear well up nice. 2" from the top of tire to the fender lip.

Running a 275/40r17 in the front. I have an RMS tubular front end in my car. The rim fits fine and I have full turning. Only issue is having to run a bolt on hub spacer. It doesn't clear in the center on my Willwood hubs. Going to do some more investigating on the weekend and see exactly where and why it is hitting? Will get more photos.

Very happy with the finish and for the price I think they can't be beat.
