17×9 Reverse Diamond-Cut Cali Spoke Showtime Wire Wheels
Build a bold, show-quality lowrider stance with this complete 17×9 reverse Diamond-Cut Cali Spoke 100-spoke Showtime wire wheel and whitewall tire package. Designed for customers who want a wider and more aggressive setup, these wheels combine highly reflective chrome Cali Spokes, a deep reverse profile and an authentic real 24K gold outer lip.
The 17-inch diameter adds a larger visual presence than traditional 13-inch, 14-inch or 15-inch lowrider wheels, while the 9-inch width and reverse offset create a noticeably deeper outer lip and wider stance.
Paired with custom true whitewall tires, this package works especially well on classic Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Lincoln and other custom American lowrider builds.
Diamond-Cut Cali Spokes for a True Showtime Look
The center of the wheel features highly reflective Diamond-Cut Cali Spokes. The diamond-cut treatment creates additional reflection across the spoke surfaces, producing the sharp, detailed appearance associated with premium Cali Spoke lowrider wheels.
The dense spoke pattern changes visually as light moves across the wheel, creating significantly more depth than a basic chrome spoke design.
Paired with the contrasting real 24K gold outer lip, the Diamond-Cut Cali Spokes give this wheel a distinctive two-tone appearance built specifically around a premium Showtime aesthetic.
Authentic Real 24K California Gold Lip
The outer lip is finished in genuine real 24K California gold electroplating, creating the rich color and depth expected from a premium custom gold finish.
Instead of covering the entire wheel in a single color, the authentic gold lip frames the bright chrome Cali Spoke center and creates a high-contrast appearance that works especially well on candy paint, black, white, burgundy, metallic and other custom finishes.

100-Spoke Showtime Lowrider Design
The 100-spoke Showtime lace pattern fills the center of the wheel with a dense and highly detailed spoke network. Combined with Diamond-Cut Cali Spokes, the design creates strong visual movement and reflection from virtually every viewing angle.
This configuration is designed for enthusiasts who want more detail than a conventional straight-lace wire wheel and is especially suited to hydraulic lowriders, custom cruisers, restorations and dedicated show builds.
17×9 Reverse Offset for a Deep-Lip Lowrider Stance
This wheel uses a 17×9 reverse-offset configuration. The reverse design positions more of the wheel toward the outside of the vehicle compared with a standard-offset wheel, creating a deeper outer lip and more aggressive stance.
The 9-inch width further increases the visual presence of the wheel and can create a wider, more dramatic look than a 17×8 configuration.
Because reverse wheels sit farther outward, proper fitment is especially important. Fender clearance, axle width, suspension height, brake components and selected tire size all affect how the finished setup will sit on the vehicle.

Fitment Note: The correct tire size depends on the vehicle, suspension height, fender clearance and desired stance. Narrower low-profile tires may create a stretched appearance on a 17×9 wheel, and tire-width approvals can vary by manufacturer. Ninja Tire recommends confirming your vehicle year, make, model and suspension setup before selecting the final tire size.
Custom True Whitewall Tires
This Showtime package can be paired with custom true whitewall tires to combine traditional lowrider styling with the larger diameter and wider stance of a 17-inch setup.
The bright whitewall creates a clean contrast against both the real 24K gold lip and Diamond-Cut Cali Spokes, making the wheel-and-tire combination stand out even more on a customized classic vehicle.

Why Choose 17-Inch Wire Wheels for a Lowrider?
17-inch wire wheels are an excellent option for builders who want to retain traditional wire-wheel styling while creating a larger and more modern stance than conventional 13-inch, 14-inch or 15-inch lowrider setups.
A 17×9 reverse configuration can be especially attractive when you want:
- A wider and more aggressive lowrider stance
- A deeper reverse outer lip
- A larger wheel without moving to oversized 20-inch or 22-inch setups
- Low-profile whitewall tire options
- A premium Diamond-Cut Cali Spoke appearance
- A show-oriented wheel and tire combination
Popular Lowrider & Classic Car Applications
Depending on the exact vehicle year, suspension, brake clearance and desired stance, 17×9 reverse wire wheels may be considered for many classic and custom applications, including:
- Chevrolet Impala
- Chevrolet Caprice
- Chevrolet Monte Carlo
- Buick Regal
- Buick Electra
- Buick Riviera
- Oldsmobile Cutlass
- Cadillac DeVille
- Cadillac Fleetwood
- Lincoln Continental
- Other classic American lowriders and custom vehicles
Exact compatibility varies by vehicle. Because a 17×9 reverse wheel can create substantial outward positioning, final fitment should always be confirmed before production.
Reverse Offset vs Standard Offset Wire Wheels
The offset of a wire wheel can dramatically change both its appearance and vehicle clearance.
Standard-offset wire wheels generally keep more of the wheel underneath the vehicle and provide a smaller or more moderate outer lip.
Reverse-offset wire wheels position more of the wheel toward the exterior of the vehicle, creating a deeper lip and the aggressive stance commonly preferred on lowrider and custom builds.
This 17×9 reverse configuration is specifically intended for customers seeking a deeper and wider Showtime appearance.
17×9 vs 17×8 Wire Wheels
Both 17×8 and 17×9 wire wheels can create an impressive custom stance, but the additional width of a 17×9 wheel allows for a wider footprint and more aggressive visual profile.
A 17×8 wire wheel is generally easier to fit when fender and suspension clearance are limited, while a 17×9 reverse wheel is better suited to customers who specifically want a wider stance and deeper outer lip.
If maximum clearance is your priority, a narrower or standard-offset configuration may be more appropriate. If the goal is a bold show-car stance, the 17×9 reverse configuration delivers significantly more visual depth.
Showtime Styling Built to Stand Out
This wheel is designed around a true Showtime lowrider appearance. Diamond-Cut Cali Spokes provide intense reflection through the center, while the real 24K gold lip frames the wheel with a contrasting premium finish.
The wide 17×9 reverse profile further emphasizes the outer lip and creates a strong visual stance whether the vehicle is parked at a show, cruising on the street or sitting low on hydraulics.
For enthusiasts looking for something more distinctive than a conventional chrome wire wheel, this combination delivers an unmistakably custom look.

Confirm Your 17×9 Reverse Fitment Before Ordering
Proper fitment is especially important with a 17×9 reverse wire wheel. Vehicle year, axle width, suspension height, hydraulics, brakes, fender clearance and selected tire size can all affect how far the finished wheel sits outward.
Provide Ninja Tire with your vehicle year, make and model along with any hydraulic, suspension, brake or axle modifications so our team can review the application and help select the appropriate wheel and tire combination before your package is prepared.
