Not really sure, but the ff7's are a kick butt wheel.

if you look at their ebay auctions they have really good reviews so i might just buy them from there. if the rim is 7.5" wide what tire would i use to get a little streched look?

i dont know about tires but i do know ebay/paypal. You'd be extremely safe to buy them off ebay if you pay wity paypal. You can get your money back within 30days if you dont get your items. Its really no hassle with paypal. So i wouldnt worry about buying from them off ebay.

Bump for more tire info.

Recommended low-profile (<50 series) tire width for a 7.5" wheel is 225. You could safely use a 215 or 235, depending on what you mean by "stretched" look.

Mounting/balancing/valve stems, etc. prices vary greatly from shop to shop & region to region, so it's tough to say. Some may also charge more if you don't buy the wheels and/or tires from them. All I can do is give a general range that I've seen, which is between $7.50 and $24 per wheel.

rim1 is a legit company. They are based out of Arizona and have a few shops around the Phoenix area. They have more wheels than it shows on their site. My buddy worked for them and he is still friends with most of the people there. So order up. They give awesome deals. I am about to buy some 20's from them pretty soon.
