Hey all, new to the forums.

Have any of you heard of Ruff wheels? This is the exact style im looking for ('03 Silver 6MT) but I'm worried about the quality of the wheels. Any info would be much appreciated!

ruff racing wheels are cheap. If thats your budget then go for it, but dont expect the quality to be top notch

Here are a couple of pics to help you decide if you haven't seen them yet on a car. (not mine BTW)

I think these are actually the Ruff 279's. Personally, I like the double five spoke design of the Ruff 278.

Roads here in Michigan are pretty bad so that is a consideration. They are sharp looking wheels but I don't want pieces of crap that will give me the shakes or be prone to scratching/bending.

Thanks!

shodog has Ruff wheels on his sedan. He could probably comment on the quality.

They weigh about 30lbs per wheel in chrome. I have the 279s in 19s, as for the quality i have had them for a litttle over a month and live right outside of Washington DC, lots of pot holes and crappy roads. No problems with them good set of rims for the price...

Ruff Wheels Question
I'm looking at these for my coupe. They are 19x8.5 +20mm and 19x9.5 +35mm Ruff Racing 278 wheels.

Is this a Coupe friendly offset?

What size tires should I use w/o fender well mods?
