Wheels are driving Me nuts!

Well I have came across a set of wheels that I like and I think will help me out. They are AR Magnets They are 18x8.5 5 7/8 backspace with a 22mm positive offset.....I will be mounting 325/60/18 I am going to pull the triger on these after some input...I have already made one mistake!

I think he's referring to these:



Pretty hot. Get them. Get them NOW...

OK, single reply then back to your regularly sheduled wheel thread...

Eddy - so many things so little time. My main focus is completing my drivers side handles, then a fully-dynamatted interior. Not much else 'till round x-mas, and hopefully a Troyer Stage-1 kit will be under the x-mas tree. I've been a good boy, I swear!

Spring time may yield new wheels & tires to fill out the wheel wells . I've opted not to lift beyond the level kit. Depending how that goes, fender flares maybe in order. I too am stuck in wheel selection hell right now.

Also clunking around in my head is that JL Audio Stealthbox... I have my BA speakers & Alpine amp saved from my Expy.. so very temping to dump it into the truck.

More importantly, I'm going crazy about getting an HDTV for the upstairs living room. I have a 62" HD Projection unit with a host of home theatre items in the basement, but most of the TV watching is done with the little lady upstairs... and I MISS my HDTV content! Think a Sharp Aquos 37" LCD is in order for the living room... but that's still $3500.

All this while trying to pack money into the savings account... *SIGH*. I need another high-paying consulting gig..

I just got word that there are none of these made yet even though they are on the AR site....I was also worried about the 5 7/8" backspace...after taking mesurments myself it would not leave 1/2" to the top ball joint......I have gone with the eagle alloy 178 chrome...be a week and a helf before I get them...Also the mail order place I got the majoves from said I might have to eat them because they mounted them for me....I will sell them if they don't come through...These are the look I wanted but they are for a 6" lift and that is to high for me to get my "large" rear into!:O)
