OK - I'm calling all who are running 17" wheels. I've been racking my brain & burning up the internet trying to find some 17" wheels for my 87 GN. I think I have sizing figured out at 17x8 (4"bs) front & 17x9.5 (4.75"bs) or 10 in (5"bs) out back. It would be real nice if somebody made GNX style mesh in 17" but I haven't been able to find it. Closest I can find is CCW, HRE, and one other one that escapes my mind. HRE is crazy expensive @ $1200 per wheel. CCW is better priced at about $700 per wheel.
I've found two different CCW's that I think look pretty kick-a$$ - the good ol' Classics and another one, the LM20. I'd like to see a car or pics (if there is one) that's running CCW LM20's in 17". Surely there has to be one of us that's running them or has run them in the past. Surely I'm not the only one who's thought of this before.
I talked to John @ CCW and he's a SUPER nice guy that seems to really know his stuff about our cars. He's determined for me to get 10's in the back, even though I'm worried they won't fit. I'd hate to be in $2800 deep in a set of wheels only to find out I can't run them. I am NOT afraid of rolling the fenders, but would prefer not to if possible. John swears they will fit, so anyone running 17x10's out back, please post up with any fitment issues you might have had.
I at first had resolved to getting the Classics, but John actually talked me into the LM20's, and every time I mentioned 9.5" out back, he'd whisper "10's". The LM 20's look a little more "clean" than the Classics (not dogging anyone running Classics), even though they are a few dollars more. Any opinions any of you might have are welcome.
