Need Help Choosing Wheels

Well after a Long Long battle with the stock steelies im finally OVER them !!


I cant find Any steelies that are straight and good enough to powdercoat.


So Im going to order some new rims by tomorrow night, whether the ole lady likes it or not !!


Onto my choices...


Cragar soft 8 would be my first choice, and cheap.

These cragars would be my 2nd choice, but I cant find a price on them.

The Delux

The last but not least would be the Eagle alloys

But since they are aluminum they are a bit more in cost....


Is the aluminum worth the weight savings ? Also what offset is closest to the stock offset ? Im unaware of the offset of the stock wheel.

Im just to the point where I dont want to mess with finding any more wheels !! The time and money I have spent I could have some nice wheels !!


And I would also like to stick with a 15'' wheel ( Since Its not Cool ) Only because I bought 4 tires with a 55,000 mile warranty

Thanks guys
