Not sure if I want to go with a 3 piece wheel, seems like it might be a pain to keep up the cleaning with all of the exposed fasteners unless you go with a hidden fastener option that only a few wheel manufactures are able to offer. If anybody has an opinion on cleaning the typical 3 piece wheel I would love to hear it.

not sure where you looked on tire rack but thats where i got my info about the 335's on 11.5" wheels.

i have forgeline 3 piece wheels on two cars. my '69 had black centers with stainless hardware and polished lips. i'm not sure on keeping those clean yet since its not done.

i have another set on the girlfriends cts-v and hers are powder coated and we just wash them with car wash soap to keep them clean.

check out forgelines web site, they are very nice people. i bought mine through frank at prodigy customs.

I just had mine mounted up. They are 17X11 with Michelin 335/35R17. I think they look great and don't have a lot of bulge.

I can't afford the three piece wheels so end up getting the TTII's for now.

Your tires and wheels look awesome. The bulge looks good, not too much. I wish there were a few more tires in that size, preferably the BFG in the KDW though I have read comments about the Michelins lasting longer that the BFG KDW.

Mine are the BFG KDW2 in 335 on an 18x11.5 wheel. You can run an 11 also will just make it 1/4" narrower on each side which will hardly change the sidewall look.

I must have been getting the wheel size minimun confused with the Michelin Pilot 335/35 R17 which can go down to a 11in wheel. I do like Forgelines but not sure I can stomach the price.
