Well I drove the 1/2 hour over to Team III Wheels today to check out their product and get some questions answered. Scott, the owner was very helpful and spent some time with me. They can't make the rear wheels I really like(fueler)in the width I need(15"). The widest they make are 12". They do make the five window in 15" width so I may go with those because they look similar to the Fueler wheels. The product looks great and they do their best to accomdate special requests. $495 per wheel. Ouch!

are you saying these are made here ? wonder why they can't make what you want in 15 wide ? should be just a corebox mod, which shouldn't be a big deal ?

Maybe the spoked wheels have issues when the get wider the 12". 15" wide is a lot of wheel & tire to pull on the spokes, the extra 3" can add up to a lot of extra directional side loads. Gene

It had to do with the way each wheel was made. The five window wheels have extra material on the outer part of the wheel. There is an extra "lip". The fueler wheels don't have that "lip". Scott explained it to me and I didn't quite follow but it sounds like if he had the ability to make them he would be more than happy to do it.

I agree the rocket wheels look OK, but I like the ET wheels better.I just wish they were more affordable

the top ones in this picture are ET wheels and the bottom ones are rocket wheels...

yes,,with out looking at them side by side i cant see a difference,,i would think because team3/E/T repopped them first with the bolt on version a complete copy may be copy right problems,,both look good to me on the right car
