Ask to speak to Greg. These wheels are not cheap.

These are the "cheap" wheels I just picked up for my ET Streets.

They are Ultra Series 50 polished aluminum, and I picked them up for $133 per wheel.

Someone here said they got some at Discount for $100, but those are probably the machined and clearcoated version.

Thanks for the response.

BABolt, thanks for the contact. I talked to him and he suggested the super single line, I am looking into how much I can get them for. So far I got a price of around $300/wheel, a little too much for me

BadDog, who makes them and about how much do they weigh?

modd69,

They are made by Ultra Wheel.

I did not get to weigh them before they were mounted, but they are aluminum, and the tire/wheel combo feels lighter that the stock wheel and tire. Real scientific approach, eh?

Eagle wheels makes a 15"X10 that is a reverse rim that is supposed to clear the calipers. When you have 15's the selection is enormous. I was quoted 160.00 locally but mail order is probably much cheaper. You can get a 28" slick to match stock and would help with any traction problems.

BadDog,

I weighed the stock wheel/tire and it was 63 lbs. The MT ET Street mounted on stock F150 styled steel 16x7 rim came out to 53 lbs.

Question Aluminum wheels for ET Streets?

Ok, I'm looking for a set of 16 x 10 aluminum wheels to mount my ET Streets on. Can anyone give me a part number and the specifications if they have a set. I have done a search of the board and couldn't find any info.

Thanks
