I'm kind of split. I may list the Rota's on the Bird Board just to see if some one jumps on them. Just tough to do as I have so much invested in them. I love Fuchs so that really isn't the question. I kind of like the 17's myself but I am wondering how they would look with black centers? I don't think I will end up going wrong with either wheel. If I stick with 16's I will find a set of 16x8's for the rear though. I may even just run the Rota's for a while. I don't know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . Luckily I have great options here

Yeah wish I could have been there. Didn't get done in Waldport until 5:30. Made it home to Corvallis about 7:15

If you find Two Sets of 16x8's @ a reasonable price let me know, as I've been looking for one set - those Fuchers are getting expensive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I threw my Rota's on the Bird board to test the waters. If I can get my money out of them I'll sell them. If not they are going on it. Not going to waste them & I do like the look of them on the car. While I admit the 16's look a little better. I certainly am not going to feel inferior with the 17's on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I have 17s and am looking for 16s due to ride height - just too up off the ground.

although - it does make getting under the car easier!

I don't mind the ride height on them. Especially on a conversion car that has some things riding a little lower than a stock car does (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . It came down to the money in the end. If I could get close to what I had in them. I'd sell them. Turns out they went to a fellow member & quick. Glad to see them going to a fellow teener. I'll be keeping my eye's open for a set of 8x16's. Even more so if I'm lucky a pair of 9x16's. I'd like to run 8's up front & 9's in the rear. Odds are it will be 8's in back & that is fine. I've got another pair of 7's. I've got another teener who would like my full set of 4 7x16's. So If I can get my 8's soon. I'll make 3 people happy out of this deal overall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

It's those extra Dezu's fasteners that really make your wheels pop Elliot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) . Your car is looking great Elliot. You getting your motor going yet? I did happen to pick up a Big4 motor with a fresh build. Needs a home now as I have changed directions with most my 914 projects (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
