I don't get why you all want 8" over 7.5" 7.5" can easily accept 235 and 245 width tires. Are you all planing on going even wider? Adding an extra .5" dish just adds extra weight. Who wants an extra lb. or so of unsprung rotating mass?

I hope they make them in silver, steel grey or gun metal.
I had already figured on buying a set of 17x7.5 Grids (18.15 lbs each).

The 17x8s will rub on the wagons, especially lowered ones. trust me, I've done a ton of research.

Unless I find some awesome deal on some other set, I'm deffinately grabbing a set of those!
