Looks like that other wheel I posted is actually an 18x8 spare.

My front runners are 17x4........................no 18's. I don't care about looks at the track, I would run pink polka dot 17x4 rims if they weighed in at 10lbs or less.

Re: Slicks (DRs) and Skinnies

found this possible skinny wheel today. Says it's off a E55 w211. It's 18", not sure on the width but the tire is only a 175/55/18.

18'' is no good............nobody makes 18'' skinny tires(real racing skinnies) that I know of anyways. I would never go down the strip on emergency tires.

Re: Slicks (DRs) and Skinnies

Mopar, Your car looks TERRIFIC! I still think that is about the best looking hood I've seen. I wouldn't mind getting a setup like yours skinnies too.... all it takes is MONEY!
