Trouble with wheels....Russ D

I am wanting to keep my 6 lugs on the Mazda, dont have the cash to swap over to 5 lug right now. Where is going to be the best place to get wheels for a 6 lug? But here is the thing I want chrome not billet, and dont like anything over 18's its just not my taste.

you need some escalade 17inch chromes- look on ebay- you can probably get a set cheap and they look great. Plus a 205 40 17 looks great on them- and they will be cheap too on ebay. Plus the escalades will tuck.

yep, eskies look good. I went five lug though, because to find anything in an offset that will tuck is $$$ from the billet special-made category.

Its like this:

6 lug 17" wheels custom made, there are only like 25 styles TOTAL you can look at from all the billet wheel manufacturers. Once you find a set you like, you are looking at a MINIMUM of 1600 a set for 17's, not including tires.

OR

Have your hubs and axles redrilled, Mike Brott does it for 450 (last I checked) Then find ANY FWD offset 5 lug wheel, there are like 700 different styles on ebay, from about 500-1000 WITH tires, chrome, painted, racy, really and literally ANYTHING you like, ANY STYLE you like.

SO thats 1600 WITHOUT TIRES for 6 lug special made wheels, or 1250-1450 WITH TIRES AND ANY STYLE YOU LIKE for 5 lug.

If you want cheap though, it dont get much cheaper than eskies. I had ~550 in my set, and that was tires and having the centers machined too.

i got mine all redrilled for 180$

I've got a set of z-71's i could sell ya. email and we can discuss if you'd like.
