17" Coys

Anyone running 17" Coys C 5 wheels? I know alot of guys are running the 20" and 22`s but I`m poor. I`m also not sure if I want the polished centers, grey or flat black. The truck is white if it matters. Any pics or suggestions would be great.

I think most are unhappy with the finish on the polished wheels. I like gray,... like on Dinos63' white '78.

Re: 17" Coys

Id have to agree the finish isnt all that great with polished. As for size i have the 20s so i cant comment on the 17 in that style. I do however like the oldschool 17s i have on it right now. When the truck was at stock height there was alot of wheel gap. Now that the truck is dropped the 17s look good.

Re: 17" Coys

Thanks guys. The grey centers look good on Dino`s 78. I was thinking the flat block might look good with the white body. I knew a guy years ago who had a white 70 chevelle with black rallys and it looked pretty cool that way. I don`t think I can afford the chrome ones.

I have a 3/5 drop for it, springs and flip kit, but i haven`t had the time to install it yet. I plan on adding 2" spindles and a rear shackle kit for a 5/7 drop at some point down the road.
