    where can one get 16x9 steelies?

    i've been looking all over for websites that sell 16x9/8 steelies in 4x100 and i fail to find, anyone have any suggestions on where to look or links to websites selling such wheels?

        the 15x8's on basset are only 17lbs each. i assume thats not a lot. what i REALLY want are some borbet A's but those are far out of my grasp in terms of cash, so i'm trying to settle on a wheel that is cheap but a nice size and offset. so far all i can think of are steelies.

            im not too worried about weight because this will be a DD and i'm not too crazy about numbers, would heavier wheels mess up your gas milage other than them simply adding weight to the car over all?

                how much you wana spend?
                if you want borbet A style then hit up esmwheels, they got the type a reps for 600 shipped in 15x8.
                also check craigslist alot, i've seen three sets of type A's(2 rep sets, and one real set) up on craigslist recently, real ones for like 900 and the fakes for around 450-500 with tires.

                    Link for 4x100 bassets?

                    Diamond racing is where to find them.

                              Yes it will. And increase stopping distance. Try Spin Werks
