I love the look of the 17" rims and I had them on my 90 TC but I chose two things that worked against me. I used a universal fit 4 bolt pattern and I could not get the perfect cerntering rings that fit our hub. It fit but not just perfectly. The real issue was that I chose the Open look with very little web and when you hit a speed bump they bend. Apparently with long spans in the rim between webs (spokes) there is a ton of stress on the rim its self and it goes out of round. I would stick with the Ronells that are sponcers and go from there. I also didnt like the fact that I had to you 40 profiles on the 17s and had a ton of gap inthe wheel wells. It also gives no curb rash protection when the side wall is so small. 50s would have looked better but with universal rims like I used there are clearance issues. But sure looked awsum other wise!!
