Thanks, Usazr1 and 68efivert. I知 gonna email et and see what the lead time will be just to confirm the right fit I知 gonna go with an 18x9.5 with a 5.5bs and an 18x8 with a 4.75bs. Will that work? I知 pretty sure the vn515痴 are18x8 w/ 4.5bs and 18x9 w/ 5.0bs. They are 770 for the set. One other set I was looking at was the Ridler 695 in 18x8, 9.5 with 4.5bs on the 8 and 5.49bs on the 9.5. And those are only 625 for the set. Thinking of just going cheaper for now because eventually when I finish the front suspension and mini tub I値l be going with the Boze torque.

Discount Tire will price-match anything you find, online. My VN215's in 18x8's and 20x10's retailed for $825/set but I found them on ebay, for $600, and my DT salesman matched it. Since I purchased them during the 2017 Memorial Day sale period, I received an extra $100 rebate. That sale is happening again, this month.

I vote you look at Budnik for wheels, although those Rocket attacks look pretty cool.
Here's a thought to consider as you make your selection..,
If you have nice brake package with two piece rotors and a high end caliper, then pick a wheel that has plenty of "opening" to show off what you have.
If, however, your brake package is not up to par, then simply select a wheel with less opening.


Best of luck choosing and please let us know what you decide..,
