ERA 6 pin PS Engineering 17" Wheels
The title pretty much says it all...
I have a set of 4 PS Engineering Wheels made for an ERA with 6 pin hubs. They are fully polished!! The RE-17 tires have only about 350 miles (no burnouts) on them. The look brand new. I mainly used the 15" wheels when I had the car. http://www.baldwinology.com/tires_5.jpg The tires sizes are 335/35/17 and 275/40/17 New: over $3200 ($1800 wheels, $400 polishing, $1000 tires and mounting) For sale: $2530 http://www.bdpmotorsports.com/Polica-Car-Show72.jpg Thanks!:3DSMILE: |
Just curious, were the 15" wheels/tires that much worse than the newer 17" set up?

I don't know that I fully understand the question.
I originally had the 17" wheels before I bought the ERA. I had ordered them directly from PS Engineering because I liked the look of the 17" better than the 15". I ended up with two sets because I forgot to cancel the order for the 15" wheels and ERA painted them to match the stripes (white). Well, I didn't want to cause a hassle by asking them to take them back after they were painted, so I just bought them. I ended up liking the look of the painted 15" wheels soo much, that I left them on and hardly used the 17". There is nothing wrong with either the 15" or 17". Just a matter of preference. The only difference (besides looks) is the 17" lets you feel the road better. Hope that answers your questions... If not, give me call at 214-213-0891 anytime! |
Thanks James. I was looking for an apples to apples comparison. Same car, same set-up same driver, only difference is 15" vs 17" wheels. I know that there are better performance tires available in the 17" size. I just wondered if the increase in perf/handling was as great in real life as opposed to on paper. I agree that the 15" look much cooler.

15" slightly softer ride (not much)
17" Better traction when warm (2" more rubber to the ground) Better handling |
James you have mail...

are the adapters/knock-offs included? how wide are the wheels and whats the back spacing?
|
drflex,
There are no adapters for these wheels. They mount directly to the 6 pin hubs. Spinners are not included. The tires are 335 in back and 270 in the front. Wheels are 8" wide in front and 11" in back. I don 't know the exact backspacing but I think it is 3.5" but I recommend you call ERA or PS to be sure. Thanks for your interest! The |
SOLD. Thanks!
