[Shotimes] 16x7 or 16x7.5 ?

[Ron Porter]

If you are looking at 16" wheels, Gary Morrell wrote about his ROH Snyper
16x8 wheels awhile back. Here's a link to a company with them. Looks like
the 16x8 are $168, and Gary mentioned that they weigh about 17 #s:

For a 17" wheel, Konig Toxxins are used by a few folks, also, and the
17x7.75 weighs in at 17.28 #s:

Tire Rack used to carry these, they may still.

Interesting.  That parameter never came up in the discussion.  This one
falls under the category "if it looks too good to be true, then it probably
isn't".  Sorry to hear Vlad had to find that out the hard way.  BTW, most
TireRack wheels look to be in the 20 lb range.  I had the guy do a scan of
all the SHO choices in 16" size and I think the lightest one was 19 lbs.

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

More specifically, look at the 1,200#/wheel load rating......not enough for
the SHO.
