New Shoes

Ok so just picked up some 17" ceptors/steel wheels..

Feel like a bit of a change and I like the look of the T in the other thread with these wheels..

Now, I currently have 19's and I don't want my ride height to change. The tyres on them are 245/35's. What I want to know is what profile in a 17" tyre would best match it? Also whats the widest you could fit on a 17" rim?

Also, anyone know a good place to get them painted? They are black, but I want them silver? Prob just need the face of them painted, maybe could do it myself, but they might need sandblasting to get the black off?

The wreckers I bought them off didn't have centre caps and said they never came out with them, but I've seen them.. Where do I get them?

Cheers Mike.

Should see if that other guy wants to swap, black would look heaps good on his white ute.

Just an Idea.

[MiKa]

Good idea Dillz...

Powdercoating would last the longest wouldnt it? I use Pro-Cote in Tyabb, they can sandblast as well.

I think powdercoating would be $150-$200. Painting would be more than that if they have to strip the paint, unless you just give it a few coats from a can.

Yea unless that other guy wants to swap I think I'm just gonna buy a few cans and give em a spray, just to keep the costs down..

So, clean em, sand em and paint em?

Found the centre caps on ebay.. $120 from the wheel king and can pick them up.. Decent amount of coin for 4 plastic caps, but can't find them anywhere else...

245/45/17 if its an 8 inch rim

[sexual harrassment panda]

245/45/17 fit on a 7.5" rim too, They are the closest size in a 17" for that size rim and load rating

Diameter Difference: 0.28%

[MiKa]

They are 17x7.5... 245 I was hoping for.. so would a 45 profile keep the diameter the same as the current 19's

[sexual harrassment panda]

yep,

looks like I posted the answer about 10 seconds before you asked the question, how's that for service

[MiKa]

Lol.. What are this weeks lotto numbers?
