There are a few companies that stepped up to get 17" versions of some of the cool 80's/90's cars rims, 15's and 16's. Bruce at Hawks Motorsports was huge in getting 17's in all the variations of the IROC rims and GTA rims. Recently came out with FORMULA rims.
Classic Industries, Yearone, and RMC also have some. Modernizing cool cars with a modern look. And ability for better rubber options too.

Yeah the better rubber options are the real reason, sad to say but perf 16" tires aren't as plentiful as they used to be....besides, they just look better, a keen eye, like myself, always spots these +1/+2's

I am a massive Firebird... bird. On the 3rd and 4th gens lowering gives such a nice stance, throw the 17's on a 3rd gen and 18's on a 4th and they look perfect!!

Thanks for the FJ, I do like the rims on it, goes with the sort of military look, and it has what looks like a Magnusson supercharger, which is cool, but crazy. The FJ already has sufficient power to break traction in the dry on tarmac with good tyres, if you put even more power combined with off road rubber, you will go from understeer to oversteer, to just plain spinning off the road.

Love the Merak as well, such a well designed little sports car, shame about the US spec bumper. I really like the designs that came out of Italy in the 70s and 80s that weren't Ferrari.

Ah, that Saab Turbo, that was a dream car of mine for a while. As usual some pretty rare stuff in there, did I see a hardtop TVR?

Thank you, I was trying to remember the name of that model.

That's exactly the make of the S/C'er Dave, your the man! I heard the owner talking to another guy who was asking about upgrading his FJ and he told him this particular shop could do ANYTHING he wanted to the FJ

As far as the Maserati, year that and the Bora's were cool but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ferrari Daytona though

Yeah I talked to the owner of the Saab...original owner️

That was a TVR, called a Vixxen with full Cosworth Sapphire drivetrain, 2.0L turbo making 380 hp @23 psi

The Bora is my favourite Maserati, it's similar to the Merak but better, and the wheels are fantastic, they just suit its looks so well.

I do like the Ferrari Daytona, and there is no doubt it is a beautiful car, with curves in all the right places, but I prefer the Bora, or the Lamborghini Miura, but don't ask me to pick between them. If I had them all in the metal in front of me, and I could actually get in them, I might change my mind.

Miura's are stunning inperson! Got to see a couple, including a popsicle green one w/blur interior

There can't be too many with this combination.
