Question Wheels for STX

I would like to upgrade to custom 17 inch wheels and daystar. I have a couple of wheels in mind (American Racing Victor or Mojave). Any suggestions? Anyone eyeing a certain wheel?
Please let me know, as I do not want to make a $1000 mistake.
Oh, by the way the wheels will go on a 04 STX Shadow Grey 2wd.
Thanks

Get the 2" lift and pick a tire/wheel combination that appeals to you. Make sure you get the speedo calibated if you go up in sizes.

The American Racing Victor is not available in our lug pattern. I too really like that wheel. Centerline has the new Crossfire wheel for our trucks that has the correct backspacing in a 17x8.5 and they said that they retail for about $250 a piece.

They also have the whole Tomahawk series for our trucks but the offset is only 5" instead of 6" which will set the wheels out an inch more.

I am probably going to go with either the Crossfire or Tomcat.

Outstanding Cincy150. Thats the kind of help I am looking for. The A/R Victor will be available in a month or two for the 04 150.
What kind of $ for the tomahawk's? They look good.

Thanks for the info on the Victor wheels. I sent them an email and they never responded. The guy that I talked to at Centerline said all of their wheels in 17" sizes would run around $250 a piece retail. He said that they don't sell them direct so you have to contact your local area vendor for pricing. When I have the cash, I will be pitting the vendors against each other for the best price. Right now I am just rying to keep the gas tank full without taking a second mortgage on the house.
