CHEAP Centerline wheels!!!!!!

[thebigjimsho]

I've been taking a gander for places that either have my rare 6-bolt pattern on the Cadillac or will make custom wheels. I had purchased a set of 19" Centerlines that took too long to make for the Convention in Madison and Toolman eventually scarfed them up.

Anyway, taking a look at their website and I found these Taurus wheel deals....Sorry Tim!!

the sportcompact RPM is a slick wheel, too bad they only have them in 19s.....I personally think that is too big for the SHO...

 

[99V8SHO]

Too bad the only good-looking ones are too damn big.

Good find, though.

 

[SHOnuff93]

anyone want to trade a set of 18" VOXX argus wheels for the cash to buy those 19's?

Don't rims off of a 5 lug Mustang fit the SHO? If so SLICERS ARE BACK!

Oh man. So tempting.
Are the ones you ordered/on Tims car the Black Pearl finish? How dark is that finish exactly?

I thought I had heard about these wheels being kind of weak, did that ever amount to anything, or was it just a rare occurance?

5 X 108mm or 5 X 4.25 bolt circle .
Be careful w/off sets . I have Gen lll Chromies on my 89 w/225 50s and they rub a bit sometimes .

When I bought my 17" RPM's, the website said they were rated at 1200lbs each. Now it says 1100lbs each so maybe there is something to the rumor that has been floating around. 1200lbs was pushing it and 1100lbs isn't going to cut it on a full weight SHO.

 

[thebigjimsho]

I know someone who had the RPMs but had one fail. It's been so long since I've seen him here, I forget his name. But any other time and I'd remember. I believe that was explained to him as a casting failure that caused a hairline crack and was fixed.

Tim has the 19" RPMs. I never saw them personally, but Tim had just posted pics of them on another thread. They're very light and the only downside would be the short sidewall which would stiffen the ride up a bit. But weight and offset-wise, they are fine.

Jim:
"KaoticSHO" is who you're thinking of, most likely.

Any Forged Centerline wheel with a center cap that covers the lug nuts can be drilled for any bolt pattern. Just a little tidbit I found out when looking for wheels for my T-Bird.

Does anyone know where I can buy a set of the Cobra rims for my 93 SHO?

 

[40BelowSummer]

Only Cobra replica rims originally made for the thunderbird since we share the same bolt pattern. But unless you got a set drilled for our bolt pattern, no.

I don't believe Black Pearl is very dark. It looks like a dark grey.

Fred, thanks. I can't believe I could ever forget Kaotic!!!

 

[SHotime03]

That's what I meant, the replica rims...do you know a place where I can find them? Thanks.

Anyone heard from him lately? I wonder if he still has his SHO and what's all running in there these days.

 

[SHotime03]

Thanks, I appreciate it...

I haven't heard from him for quite some time and he missed the convention. Life's responsibilities probably kept him from attending and have kept him away from the forum lately but I seriously doubt he got rid of his SHOs. He loves the car. Maybe some of the texas folks have heard from him recently.

 

[luigisho]

Or maybe Doug knows something since he's done alot of work on the car IIRC. Any info from the fordbastards crowd?
