Idk, probably like 160, the speedometer stops at 155 and it went past that a ways, it was a one time thing. I don't think my speedometer is right with the smaller non WS6 wheels either. Definitely the highlight of my life.

I like the CCW 505a's but would there be any problem running a 2 inch spacer? I like the Rushforth Livewires too, kind of a toss up.

What's the widest rear tire I can fit on a 18' with reasonable mods? Don't mind a little cutting but I am not going to tub the car. TT2's are cool but I wanted something different.

That's their standard answer usually far longer than that. I know someone that's been waiting 6 mos.

We usually see wheels ship between 10-12 weeks right now from Budnik.

I love my Live Wires. I wish I went with the Chrome or polished finish. I have the Titanium finish. Looks good but, I like chrome but only on the wheels.

I think Rush Livewires are great looking wheel. Good choice. Now don't be shy with the pics when you get them either .

The Rushforth line is a great wheel line.

Before I make my order does anyone think I should run 17's on the front? I have 235/65/15's on the front and they rub a little as it is. I also think the 18's might look a little big up front.

I went with 18's for the extra inch of height.
