[Shotimes] 16x7 or 16x7.5 ?

[Ron Porter]

Yes.....look, but don't touch!!

More specifically, look at the 1,200#/wheel load rating......not enough for
the SHO. "Vlad The Impeller" (was/is on this list) had a set for awhile on
his SHO, then started discovering some cracks in them, and has now moved on
to something else.

I was looking at Racing Hart CP-035s for awhile myself. They're forged and
around 11#s for a 16x7". They didn't come in a SHO fitment, but I would have
paid for the custom size. Dropped the idea when I saw that most really light
wheels alike this are not strong enough for the weight of a SHO.

Yesterday I found a shop that can get CenterLine wheels.  They have some
very nice wheels that tip the scales at around 13.5lbs in a 17"!!!  Very
pricey though at about $360/piece.  Anyone using this brand/wieght combo on
their SHO, and how much of a difference does this make?

I wish I didn't have to **always** compromise...
