True that! I have an expression at my shop. Buy good parts, and you only cry ONCE!

 

The 2nd link says ET I. Isn't that a Team III wheel/name?

 

Hmmm, not sure.....

 

Hey, that would give me a good reason to renew my Alliance Membership that I keep forgetting.

 

By the 5x5 bolt pattern I'm guessing GM truck? What size tires are you going to run? Hub-centric may be tough to find, but should'nt be nessesary on a rwd vehicle.
I had both 295/50/15s and 275/60/15s on 15x8.5 orriginal ET 5-spokes on the rear of this and they both fit the truck and the rim fine.

 

96 Impala SS. I will choose the tires after I order the wheels. I already have tread width and section width measurements and the factory height is around 27". The wheels looks really cool on that truck.

 

ever look at the newer halibrand 5 spokes? look pretty good, affordable, and they do your bolt pattern, your back space//

ebay man

 

Yup, but the widest is 15x8. Need 15x10 for the rear.

 

I have known Scott for something like 40 years. He is a honest person and takes pride in building awesome wheels. He takes no short cuts and provides you with a wheel that will perform perfectly and will look killer. When you deal with ET you deal with the owner. Nuff said.

I'm with ya there too...my daily is a 94 Roadmaster Woodie Wagon.
Its got 17x8 TTIIs with 4" backspace(everyone recomended against it) because I wanted a deeper look, and 235/60/17s, but I did run 255/55/17s previously.

 

I bought the ET 5 spokes. Best thing I did to the car! Its automotive jewery.

I have never seen aluminum polished so shiney.

Worth the money because you can get the offsets and sizes you want to make the car look like you built it around the wheels.

 

Those round spoke Radirs were a great looking wheel and I kick myself for not grabbing a set when they were clearing them out.

 

If you don't like the Torq-Thrust II, then the ET wheels are your only choice that'll still look good on that car. Wheels in 14/15" just don't look "right" on that car.

A 17x8" and 17x9.5" combo or 18x8" and 18x9.5" combo would be good sizes to use with a 245 up front and a 285 out back.

 

PS Engineering in Torrance, Ca. (310)534-4477 can make em
15x6-15x12.5 any backspace, approx. $300.00 ea. They call them the
"Trans-Am" wheel, but they are a bitchen vintage looking 5-spoke

 

PS Engineering in Torrance, Ca. (310)534-4477, I was quoted $300.00 ea for my
'56.

 

ET did a "package deal" for the H.A.M.B. last year, through Kikinrods (Alliance vendor)...that's how I got my set...and yeah, it hurt, but they look so goooood....if I recall the Alliance was mentioned to them (ET) & they preferred to do it as a quantity order instead.

The only problem with that was the fact that a lot of guys expressed interest...but when it came down to actually spending MONEY...well, ya know how that goes....

 

No...it's an ET wheel/name.....because the wheel shown is a real ET.
AKH wheels refurbishes and sells original Americans, ET's and others, he's generally at all the swapmeets around here...

 

these "tto's" come in a 10" not shure about the offset...

 

The "custom offset" part seems to be the b*tch with these wheels. Funny lookin' TT2s, and equally pricey (but beautiful) Team IIIs seem to be the only game in town.

I'd love to have these for the chevy II, but I want a 15x7 w/ a min of 4.50" BS, and most of these cast wheels are only like 3.75 - 4".
