Can someone chop this wheel onto Red? Both the wheels are the same diameter.

Thanks,

Greg, I dont know if you have already found a good deal on those 2nd gen wheels or not, but www.finishlinewheels.com doesnt have bad prices on them.

Here is my quick 2 minute chop...

Litterally...It took me longer to DL and open the two photos that it did to put them on Red...lol

I personally, like the rims you have now....

Not a fan of these...but as requested...

For choppin wheels onto a vehicle...you want to find the most head on shot of the wheel...so there is no distortion or oblongness of the rim...but there ya go....

Kevin, Thanks. I agree the wheels don't have much "pop". The problem I am having with my current wheels is that they are heavy. and the 17's are much better performance wise. The 2g wheels are also 17x9 and fit inside the fenders, all pluses when lowered. But thanks again for any and all inputs.

If only Weld would make a 17x9 wheel that would fit under a lowered 3g. I even had a nice set of Durango 18" that I gave away. Having hind sight would make life waay too easy. lol

i had a set similar to those on my red 99 but they were polished. they look good for the track but i think they take away from the overall beauty of red

Thanks for the input, the guy who has them allowed one wheel to stray and the deal is on hold until he recovers the wheel. If the deal does finally goes through I'll at least have them for track use.

It does have a bold look to it. Thanks for the chop. Now if I could find a black chrome wheel that fit up under the fender I might consider something. I'm going to drop it a little more before the summer ends.
