    found some 17" wheels

    I have been saving up for torque thrust m wheels for quite some time. When I compared them side by side with the ridler 695 wheels, I found that I like the ridler a little better. They have the relief step near the back so they have more clearance like an 18" wheel, spokes curve out like the M's as well. Come with 3yr. Warranty on finish and lifetime on wheel.they are very close in style to M's.  I keep you updated on fitment, etc.

    if you have trouble finding the backspacing needed with the ridler, look at the boss 338. same wheel, but available with different offsets. i originally wanted the ridler's, but couldnt find a backspcing that would work, so went with the boss wheels. foose also has a wheel thats identical, but think its a "chrome only" option, also with slighly different offsets.

    Boss 338 doesn't come in 17x7, just 17x8.

    Made mistake on ridlers, the reliefs neck down in back of wheel to 16", not 18" as I previously mentioned.
