Anyone have pics of a 17" AR-500 Wheel on a B body? I've been a 15" kind of guy forever but I think I might like this particular wheel in 17"...maybe...

I've seen an E-body sporting them, but no picture handy. They are pretty cool, but I just can't get past the price tag. 400 bucks a pop is just too steep.

I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools... I can fix it.

I desperately wanted a set for my '69 Charger, but I just couldn't them.

what about these centerline wheels and paint the satin portion black? would save $100/whl, and they're forged in the USA...

those must be HEAVY....probably 35-40lb/wheel?
I had 17x8 cragar SS's on my old ram (AL center, steel rim like the originals) with 275/60R17's on them and that wheel/tire combo was about 85-90lb each..

I liked the look of the wheel till I saw it on the car , too big and looks out of place . My DD has 17's with rubberband sized sidewalls , it's not a very comfortable ride , but it handles well ...
I think if you saw them with some 255/50R17's or 235/55R17's, you'd think differently. these tires are 27" OD, so you have 5" sidewall to avoid the rubberband sidewall look.
the all-steel magnum 500's, are those a standard center in an expended rim? that's kind of how my cragars were. only problem, is will they clear big brakes, or only clear what a 15" rim would clear?
