Good luck gettin' that guy to answer any of your emails. I tried to contact him via the information from his ad numerous times, no reply. I'll just stick to my all time favorite 17" BRMs.

Took me a couple of emails before I got a response.

Kind of off topic, but where could I get a set of those 17" BRM's?

I'm not using anything to adapt them to 5x205. I threw the 205 garbage away and use 4 wheel discs.

Well, the Air EVO dealer kept pushing back the date for the incoming shipment of chrome wheels. I'm still waiting on a quote to get a set of the black wheels chromed. But I will assume the cost will be triple of what the set sells for. So for now I will wait until the end of the year to see if the Air EVO delaer comes through.

If not, then I will go with the 17" BRMs. But will have to research what is needed as far as modifications to my '55 oval; ie... which Bad Brakes Kit to get, how much to narrow my beam, size tire combo to fit in stock front fenders, mods to front fender, tire combo for stock and 2 in wider rear fender, etc.....

I think the ROTA 17 in replicas are much nicer that those.

For a price of $1,199.00, not bad, pair of 17x7.5 and a pair of 17x9.

Ok so they do really exsist. I have gotten many responces but It just seemed a little dodgy and I can't find them any where on the net other than here. Does anybody know ther dealer mentioned earlier in this thread?

Also I have to say I like the AirEvo's because the center has been re-perportioned to the 17 outer's instead of a 15" center with a large lip. But thats my thoughts...Thought it would be nice to get a 17 x 9 from them...
