US mag "Bandit" 17" Rally 2's
 
Has anybody bought these wheels yet? The ebay ad states zero offset 4.5 backspacing in 17" x 8" or 17" x 9" with 5" backspacing. They look good in the pics but I'd like to see them on a pontiac. The company is called Rons Rims from Pa. Any help would be appreciated.

That is a good looking wheel!...It was in HPP july 2012....said price was 500.00 each! if that ebay price is correct, that sounds like a good deal.

I wonder if they are genuine US mag wheels?

Says they are available in "soft lip" and "traditional lip"...would like to see some pics of the differences.

Ahhhh........I see now. The wheel on E-bay is a lower cost 1 piece cast wheel.
notice part no. U109.

The one featured in HPP was a 2 piece Forged wheel, part no. U418... that explains the higher price.

I also want to know about the soft lip / traditional lip myself. I'm going to need new sneakers this spring and was thinking them and some 235/55/17 redlines .
