What would you consider to be the best non-gm wheel in a in a 17X9 or 17X9 1/2? Taking into consideration looks weight, construction (ability to clearance 12-13" rotors) so on.

The ones I can think of in no particular order are:

Fikse - FM5
Fikse - MAG
LG - Win (originally Enkie, but no longer carried by them)
ROH - Snyper
Torque Thrust (can remember if it is Crager or American Racer)

I like in this order:
OZ Competition
OZ Monte Carlo
Various Simmons wheels
For chrome I like the: Cragar SS

I really like the Fiske, but I wont even begin to dream about them for the cost!

Anything forged, basically, but I really admire both the Fikse mags, and the Simmons F-series!! ;) How much $$$ are you willing to spend?

I just asked what you guys thought were good wheels, so I guess the budget is unlimited.

If you're going for the 5 spoke look, Centerline just came out with a new one that looks really nice. I'm sure it's strong. too.

If your in the market for some wheels then you must be in the market to sell some SS Rims. If so shoot me a price I am in the market for a second set. IfNot I will keep on looking.
