'Legend 5' 17x8 Rims by Summit

[YoungBlood]

I love these rims. 17's were without a doubt the way to go. These may be Foose rip-off's, but the quality is fantastic. These are 4.5" backspacing and ran $150/each. Shipping was $13! Made the deal even sweeter.

Can't wait to get them on the car with the new performance suspension parts.

Sorry about the cell phone quality pics.

Here's my current plan for tires:

-FRONTS: Summit Riken Raptor ZR 225/45R17 Item#RIK-54377 $99.95 (x2) $200.00
WIDTH: 8.90
HEIGHT: 25.00
-REARS: Summit Riken Raptor ZR 255/50R17 Item#RIK-11262 $109.95 (x2) $220.00
WIDTH: 10.40
HEIGHT: 27.10

I'm not exactly sold on Riken's yet, but the price is right. They're made by Michelin or BFG though, so there is a name behind them.

At first I wanted to run 245's up front. Then I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd's duster and decided I could narrow down the front tires a bit to 225's.

I chose my tire sizes to mimic his car's, the way they nicely fill the well.

Difference being I really don't like rims bigger than 17's and his car's wheels are staggered 18's front 19's rear.
