Cliff,

You gotta tell me. 1. How narrow of a beam are you running? 2. What size 17" tires did you go with? 3. Did you get the staggered fitment? 4. Are they two-tone? I can't quite tell, it sorta looks like it... 5. Does it handle better?

Thanks dude!

If they are running low profile tyres then there shouldn't be any marked changes in braking as the overall height and outer circumference of the wheel won't have changed much from stock

We had a ton of interest for 4x130mm applications. It was only a matter of time before we came out with it.

Here are some photos of the design and completed project.

They are 17x7's available in 2 back spaces, 5.250" and 4.625" and they accept the Wide 5 hubcaps. At this time they only come in raw form and available here => http://airkewld.co/pXqqer

What do you think?

I think it's a pretty smart move. Of course they won't look as cool without caps, but hiding the 4-lug is probably the idea in the first place.
