Very nice well done.  I hate scam artists.  Well we cant even call this guy an artist.  Scam scum perhaps.  It just sucks people have to be like that because buying things online would be so much easier and stress free if you knew no one was trying to scam people.  In my opnion these people need to get a job and earn their money a real way.  It just makes me mad.  Hey Y88rick did he ever email you back.

Title: Re: 17x9 snowflakes for sale allready
Post by: O'Neall on February 24, 2009, 09:16:08 AM
They are made in China.  According to YO they got quotes from several domestic mfgrs and the price of the wheels was nearly double.  Consider it a compromise to get them at such a killer price.  I can attest to their quality though... these wheels are NICE!!!

Post by: 78ta on March 10, 2009, 02:44:49 AM
They look good from the pics I've seen though I think there may be any issue, for some guys, with finding a tire to fit them that has enough side wall height to fill the wheel well well. If you were going to put them on AND lower your car a couple inches, it would probably look awesome with the tires that seem to be available.

Title: Re: 17x9 snowflakes for sale allready
Post by: Wild Bill on March 15, 2009, 11:00:23 PM
Yeah I like 'em both too,
it's the coming of the times I guess to have a bigger rim though
how expensive do you think it will be to buy 15" tires in ten years? twenty?
when I bought my first T/A, I found a set of 14" snow flakes at a junk yard, paid 100 bones for 'em, spent more money on the 14" tires then if they were 15" and ended up selling them off because they were just way too small for my liking
Title: Re: 17x9 snowflakes for sale allready
Post by: kjkjkcjkcj on March 16, 2009, 11:59:11 AM
Really i wasn't aware that they made 14 inch snowflakes.  My only complaint with the 17s is they are too spread out compared to the original ones, but i understand its because they are bigger wheels and it was either strech them out or add more and im sure they tried both buy those looked the best.  Im not sayin i wouldn't buy them.  I just dont have the MULA.
Title: Re: 17x9 snowflakes for sale allready
Post by: Wild Bill on March 16, 2009, 02:15:31 PM
Yeah, the 14" were on  78-79 Pontiac Grand Prix ... I just did a search on ebay and found some for 650
Title: Re: 17x9 snowflakes for sale allready

That is correct they did sell the 14s on the older models.I think i still have a whole set left.
